PART I
Item 1. Business.
In this Annual Report on Form 10-K, WESCO refers to WESCO International, Inc., and its
subsidiaries and its predecessors unless the context otherwise requires. References to we, us,
our and the Company refer to WESCO and its subsidiaries.
The Company
WESCO International, Inc. (WESCO International), incorporated in 1993 and formed in February
1994 upon acquiring a distribution business from Westinghouse Electric Corporation, is a leading
North American distributor of products and provider of advanced supply chain management and
logistics services used primarily in industrial, construction, utility and commercial,
institutional and government markets. We serve over 100,000 customers globally, including a large
percentage of Fortune 1000 companies, through approximately 400 full service branches and seven
distribution centers located in the United States, Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom, Singapore,
China, Australia, Africa and the United Arab Emirates. At the end of 2010, we had approximately
6,800 employees worldwide.
We are a leading provider of electrical, industrial, and communications maintenance, repair
and operating (MRO) and original equipment manufacturers (OEM) products, construction
materials, and advanced supply chain management and logistics services. Our primary product
categories include general electrical and industrial supplies, wire, cable and conduit, data
communications, power distribution equipment, lighting and lighting control systems, control and
automation and motors. We expanded upon our communications product offerings in December 2010 upon
acquiring TVC Communications, L.L.C (TVC Communications), a leading distributor of broadband
communications network infrastructure products serving the cable, telecommunications and satellite
industries. We distribute over 1,000,000 products from more than 17,000 suppliers utilizing a
highly automated, proprietary electronic procurement and inventory replenishment system. In
addition, we offer a comprehensive portfolio of value-added services, which includes supply chain
management, logistics and transportation procurement, warehousing and inventory management, as well
as kitting, limited assembly of products and system installation. Our value-added capabilities,
extensive geographic reach, experienced workforce and broad product and supply chain solutions have
enabled us to grow our business and establish a leading position in North America.
Industry Overview
We operate in highly fragmented markets that include thousands of small regional and locally
based, privately owned competitors. In 2009, the latest year for which market share data is
available, the five largest national distributors, including us, accounted for approximately 29% of
estimated total electrical distribution industry sales in the United States. Our global account,
integrated supply and OEM programs provide customers with a regional, national, North American and,
in some cases, global supply chain consolidation opportunity. The demand for these programs has
grown in recent years, driven primarily by the desire of companies to reduce operating expenses by
implementing third-party programs for the operational and administrative functions associated with
the procurement, management and utilization of MRO supplies and OEM components. We believe that
significant opportunities exist for further expansion of these programs, as the total potential in
the United States for purchases of supplies and services across all market segments and channels is
currently estimated to be greater than $500 billion.
According to published sources, the electrical distribution industry has grown at an
approximately 5% compound annual rate over the past 20 years. This expansion has been driven by
general economic growth, increased price levels for key commodities, increased use of electrical
products in businesses and industries, new products and technologies and the proliferation of
enhanced building and safety codes and the internet. Wholesale distributors have also grown as a
result of a long term shift in procurement preferences that favor the use of distributors over
direct relationships with manufacturers.
Markets and Customers
We have a large base of over 100,000 customers across a diverse set of end markets. Our top
ten customers accounted for approximately 12% of our sales in 2010. No one customer accounted for
more than 4% of our sales in 2010.

Industrial. Sales to industrial customers of MRO, OEM, and construction products and services
accounted for approximately 42% of our sales in 2010, compared to 40% in 2009. MRO and capital
expansion product categories include a broad range of electrical supplies as well as lubricants,
pipe, valves, fittings, fasteners, cutting tools and power transmission products. OEM customers
require a reliable supply of assemblies and components to incorporate into their own products as
well as value-added services such as supplier consolidation, design and technical support,
just-in-time supply and electronic commerce.
Construction. Sales of electrical and communications products to construction contractors
accounted for approximately 38% of our sales in 2010, compared to 36% in 2009. Customers include a
wide array of contractors and engineering, procurement and construction firms for industrial,
infrastructure, commercial and data communications projects for applications such as refineries,
railways, hospitals, wastewater treatment facilities, data centers, security installations,
offices, and modular and mobile homes. Products purchased by electrical subcontractors typically
account for approximately 40% to 50% of their installed project cost, making accurate cost
estimates and competitive material costs critical to a contractors success in winning and
completing profitable projects. In addition to a wide array of electrical products, we offer
contractors data communications products such as IT/network modernization, physical security
upgrades, broadband deployments, network security, and disaster recovery.
Utility. Sales to utilities and utility contractors accounted for approximately 13% of our
sales in 2010, compared to 17% in 2009. Customers include large investor-owned utilities, rural
electric cooperatives, municipal power authorities and contractors that serve these customers. We
provide our utility customers with products and services to support the construction and
maintenance of their transmission and distribution lines along with an extensive range of supplies
to meet their power plant MRO and capital projects needs. Full materials management and procurement
outsourcing arrangements are also important in this market, as cost pressures and deregulation have
caused utility customers to seek improvements in the efficiency and effectiveness of their supply
chains.
Commercial, Institutional and Governmental. Sales to CIG customers accounted for approximately
7% of our sales in 2010 and 2009. Customers include schools, hospitals, property management firms,
retailers and federal, state and local government agencies of all types, including federal
contractors.
Business Strategy
Our goal is to grow organically and through accretive acquisitions at a rate greater than that
of our industry. Our organic growth strategy leverages our existing strengths and focuses on
initiatives to enhance our sales and customer service, develop new end markets, broaden our product
and service offerings and expand our geographic footprint. To complement our organic growth
strategy and to expand our ability to serve existing as well as new customers, we intend to pursue
strategic acquisitions. We utilize LEAN continuous improvement initiatives on a company-wide basis
to deliver operational excellence and improve results. We also extend our LEAN initiatives to
customers to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations and supply chains. In
addition, we seek to generate a distinct competitive advantage through talent management and
employee development processes and programs.
We currently are focusing our growth efforts on the following end markets, product categories

Grow Our Global Account Customer Relationships and Base. Our typical global account customer
is a Fortune 1000 industrial or commercial company, a large utility, a major contractor, or a
governmental or institutional customer, in each case with multiple locations. Our global account
program is designed to provide customers with supply chain management and cost reductions by
coordinating and standardizing activity for MRO supplies and OEM direct materials across their
multiple locations. Comprehensive implementation plans are managed at the local, national and
international levels to identify key performance measures, prioritize activities and track progress
against objectives. We involve our preferred suppliers early in the implementation process, where
they can contribute expertise and product knowledge to accelerate program implementation and
achievement of cost savings and process improvements.
Over the past ten years, we believe revenue growth from our global account programs has
exceeded the annual growth rate of the overall electrical distribution industry. Our objective is
to continue to increase revenue from our global account programs by expanding our product and
service offerings to existing global account customers and expanding our reach to serve additional
customer locations. We also plan on expanding our customer base by capitalizing on our industry
expertise and supply chain optimization capabilities.
Extend Our Leadership Position in Integrated Supply Programs. Our integrated supply services
are focused on customers in the industrial, utility, construction and CIG markets. We combine our
personnel, product and distribution expertise, electronic technologies and service capabilities
with the customers own internal resources to meet particular service requirements. Each integrated
supply program is configured to significantly reduce the number of suppliers, total procurement
costs, and administrative expenses as well as improve operating controls. Our integrated supply
programs focus on supply chain optimization and replace the traditional multi-vendor,
resource-intensive procurement process with a single, outsourced, fully automated process. Our
services range from timely product delivery to a fully outsourced procurement function. We believe
that customers will increasingly seek to utilize such services to consolidate and manage their MRO
and OEM supply chains. We plan to expand our leadership position as the largest integrated supply
services provider of MRO supplies in the United States by building upon established relationships
within our large customer base and premier supplier network, and extending our services to
locations outside the United States.
Expand Our Relationships with Construction Contractors. Our construction sales are focused on
contractors, particularly those involved with healthcare, government facilities, enterprise data
communications, telecommunication and energy and government infrastructure-related projects. We
believe that significant cross selling opportunities exist for electrical and data communications
products and we intend to use our global account programs, LEAN initiatives and project management
expertise to capitalize on construction business.
Expand Government Business. Our dedicated government business development and sales team is
focused on serving federal, state and local government agencies. In addition to coordinating
business at a federal, state and local level, we are focused on monitoring all activity and
opportunities related to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and have seen positive results
from these efforts, and plan to continue to emphasize this area of our business in 2011 and 2012.
Expand Our Position in Wire and Cable. Our wire and cable product and service offerings are
sold to customers in all our end markets. We are focused on growing our wire and cable business by
enhancing our service capabilities and expanding our wire and cable geographic presence. In
addition, we have a team of specialists working directly with our sales force to provide our
customers with single source wire and cable solutions.
Expand Products and Services for Utilities. Our utility customers continue to be focused on
operating efficiency and cost reduction. As a result, we anticipate an increase in distribution
grid improvement and transmission expansion projects. Accordingly, we are focused on expanding our
logistical and project services, integrated supply services and project management programs to
increase our scope of supply on distribution grid transmission, generation and alternative energy
projects.
Expand International Operations. We seek to capitalize on existing and emerging international
market opportunities through collaborative investments with key customers and suppliers. We follow
our established customers and pursue business that we believe utilizes and extends our existing
capabilities. During 2010, we established a commercial presence in Columbia, Spain, Brazil and
Belgium through the acquisition of TVC Communications. We believe this strategy of working through
well-developed customer and supplier relationships significantly reduces risk and provides the
opportunity to establish profitable business. Our priorities are focused on global energy and
construction projects, as well as attractive vertical markets such as infrastructure, data
communications, alternative energy and integrated supply and procurement outsourcing.
Grow Our Communications Products Position. Over the last several years, there has been a
convergence of electrical and data communications contractors. Our ability to provide both
electrical and communications products and services lines as well as automation, electromechanical,
non-electrical MRO, physical security and utility products has presented expanded cross selling
opportunities across WESCO. Communications products have continued to be in strong demand due to
networking upgrades, low voltage security investments, data center upgrades and increasing
broadband utilization. We are investing in the expansion of our
4
communications sales force and geographic footprint. In December 2010, we expanded our
capabilities into broadband and telecommunication product lines with the acquisition of TVC
Communications.
Grow Lighting System Sales. Lighting applications are undergoing significant innovation
driven by energy efficiency and sustainability trends. We expanded our sales team and marketing
initiatives in 2010 and will continue to focus significant resources on this product category as we
believe the trends in lighting systems will provide attractive growth opportunities for the next
several years.
Increase Business in Sustainable Technologies. Demand is building for sustainable and energy
efficient solutions in the electrical and industrial distribution industry, and we are integrating
green technologies into our product and service offerings. Our goal is to help our customers meet
their environmental sustainability objectives by providing world-class sustainable products and
solutions from leading manufacturers. We also provide the education and resources that
organizations need to deploy these solutions.
Pursue Strategic Acquisitions. Since 1995, we have completed 34 acquisitions. In 2010, we
acquired two businesses: Potelcom Supply, Inc. (Potelcom) and TVC Communications. We believe
that the highly fragmented nature of the electrical and industrial distribution industry will
continue to provide acquisition opportunities. We expect that any future acquisitions will be
financed with internally generated funds, additional debt and/or the issuance of equity securities.
Drive Operational Excellence. LEAN continuous improvement is a set of company-wide strategic
initiatives to increase efficiency and effectiveness across the entire business enterprise,
including sales, operations and administrative processes. The basic principles behind LEAN are to
systematically identify and implement improvements through simplification, elimination of waste and
reduction in errors. We apply LEAN in our distribution environment, and develop and deploy numerous
initiatives through the Kaizen approach targeting improvements in sales, margin, warehouse
operations, transportation, purchasing, inventory, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and
administrative processes. Our objective is to continue to implement LEAN initiatives across our
business enterprise and to extend LEAN services to our customers.
Talent Management. Our strategy is to develop a distinct competitive advantage through talent
management and employee development. We believe our ability to attract, develop and retain diverse
human capital is imperative to business success. We improve workforce capability through various
programs and processes that identify, recruit, develop and promote our talent base. We have made
significant enhancements in these programs over the last several years and we expect to continue to
refine and enhance these programs in the future.

We purchase products from a diverse group of more than 17,000 suppliers. In 2010, our ten
largest suppliers accounted for approximately 32% of our purchases. The largest of these was Eaton
Corporation, through its Eaton Electrical division, which accounted for approximately 12% of our
total purchases. No other supplier accounted for more than 5% of our total purchases.
Our supplier relationships are important to us, providing access to a wide range of products,
technical training, and sales and marketing support. We have preferred supplier agreements with
more than 300 of our suppliers and purchase over 60% of our products pursuant to these agreements.
Consistent with industry practice, most of our agreements with suppliers, including both
distribution agreements and preferred supplier agreements, are terminable by either party on 60
days notice or less.
Services
We offer customers a comprehensive portfolio of value added services which includes more than
40 value add solutions, in ten categories ranging from construction, project management,
e-business, energy, engineering services, green and sustainability, production support, safety,
supply chain optimization, training, to working capital. These solutions are designed to address
our customers business needs through:
|
|
|
Outsourcing of the entire MRO purchasing process via integrated supply; |
|
|
|
|
Providing technical support for manufacturing process improvements; |
|
|
|
|
Implementing inventory optimization programs, including just-in-time
delivery and vendor managed inventory; |
|
|
|
|
Participating in joint cost savings teams; |
|
|
|
|
Assigning our employees as on-site support personnel; |
|
|
|
|
Consulting and recommending energy-efficient product upgrades; and |
|
|
|
|
Offering safety and product training for customer employees. |
Competitive Strengths
We compete directly with global, national, regional and local distributors of electrical and
other industrial supplies. Competition is primarily focused on the local service area, and is
generally based on product line breadth, product availability, service capabilities and price. We
also compete with buying groups formed by smaller distributors to increase purchasing power and
provide some cooperative marketing capability. While increased buying power may improve the
competitive position of buying groups locally, we believe it is difficult to coordinate a diverse
ownership group. Although certain Internet-based procurement service companies, auction businesses
and trade exchanges remain in the marketplace, the impact on our business from these competitors
has not been significant to date.
Market Leadership. Our ability to manage complex global supply chains, multi-site facility
maintenance programs and construction projects that require special sourcing, technical advice,
logistical support and locally based service has enabled us to establish a strong presence in our
served markets. We have utilized these skills to generate significant revenues in a broad range of
industries with intensive use of electrical and industrial products.
Broad Product Offering and Value-added Services. We provide a wide range of products, services
and procurement solutions, which draw on our product knowledge, supply and logistics expertise,
system capabilities and supplier relationships to enable our customers to maximize productivity,
minimize waste, improve efficiencies, reduce costs and enhance safety. Our broad product
6
offering and stable source of supply enables us to consistently meet virtually all of a customers
product and MRO and OEM requirements.
Extensive Distribution Network. We operate approximately 400 geographically dispersed branch
locations and seven distribution centers (four in the United States and three in Canada). Our
distribution centers add value for our customers, suppliers, and branches through the combination
of a broad and deep selection of inventory, online ordering, next-day shipment and central order
handling and fulfillment. Our distribution center network reduces the lead-time and cost of supply
chain activities through automated replenishment and warehouse management systems and economies of
scale in purchasing, inventory management, administration and transportation. This extensive
network, which would be difficult and expensive to duplicate, provides us with a distinct
competitive advantage and allows us to:
|
|
|
Enhance localized customer service, technical support and sales coverage; |
|
|
|
|
Tailor individual branch products and services to local customer needs; and |
|
|
|
|
Offer multi-site distribution capabilities to large customers and global accounts. |
Low Cost Operator. Our competitive position has been enhanced by our consistent favorable
operating cost position, which is based on use of LEAN, strategically-located distribution centers,
and purchasing economies of scale. As a result of these factors, our operating cost as a
percentage of sales is one of the lowest in our industry. Our selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of revenues for 2010 were 15.1%, significantly below our peer group 2010
average of approximately 18.5%, according to the National Association of Electrical Distributors.
Geography
Our network of branches and distribution centers are located primarily in the United States,
Canada, and Mexico, with additional locations in the United Kingdom, Singapore, China, Australia,
Africa and the United Arab Emirates.
United States. To serve our customers in the United States, we operate a network of
approximately 325 branches supported by four distribution centers located in Pennsylvania, Nevada,
Mississippi and Arkansas. With sales of approximately $4,198 million, sales in the United States
represented approximately 83% of our total sales in 2010. According to the Electrical Wholesaling
Magazine, the U.S. electrical wholesale distribution industry had estimated sales of approximately
$80 billion in 2010.
Canada. To serve our Canadian customers, we operate a network of approximately 50 branches in
nine provinces. Branch operations are supported by three distribution centers located in Montreal,
Edmonton and Vancouver. With sales of approximately $682 million, sales in Canada represented
approximately 13% of our total sales in 2010. Total industry sales in Canada are approximately $5.9
billion in 2010 according to the Canadian Distribution Council.
Mexico. We have ten branch locations in Mexico. Our headquarters in Tlalnepantla Estado de
Mexico operates similar to a distribution center to enhance the service capabilities of the local
branches. We pursue business opportunities in the Gulf of Mexico and seek to capitalize on the
mining and Maquiladora OEM business opportunities on the United States-Mexican border.
Other International Locations. We sell to global customers through domestic export sales
offices located within North America and sales offices in various international locations. Our
operations in Aberdeen, Scotland and Manchester, England support sales efforts in Europe and the
Middle East. We have operations in Nigeria and Angola to serve West Africa, an office in United
Arab Emirates to serve the Middle East, an office in Singapore to support our sales to Asia and
West Africa, an office in Perth to serve customers in Western Australia and an office near Shanghai
to serve customers in China. All of our international locations have been established to serve our
growing list of customers with global operations.

Intellectual Property
We currently have trademarks, patents and service marks registered with the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office. The registered trademarks and service marks include: WESCO ®
, our corporate logo and the running man logo. Go Green with WESCO and LEAN GREEN with WESCO
were added to our trademark portfolio in 2009 in an effort to promote our sustainability and
environmentally friendly sales and marketing initiatives. These trademarks and service mark
applications have been filed in various foreign jurisdictions, including Canada, Mexico, the United
Kingdom, Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Thailand and the European Community.
Environmental Matters
Our facilities and operations are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations
relating to environmental protection and human health and safety. Some of these laws and
regulations may impose strict, joint and several liabilities on certain persons for the cost of
investigation or remediation of contaminated properties. These persons may include former, current
or future owners or operators of properties and persons who arranged for the disposal of hazardous
substances. Our owned and leased real property may give rise to such investigation, remediation and
monitoring liabilities under environmental laws. In addition, anyone disposing of certain products
we distribute, such as ballasts, fluorescent lighting and batteries, must comply with environmental
laws that regulate certain materials in these products.
We believe that we are in compliance, in all material respects, with applicable environmental
laws. As a result, we do not anticipate making significant capital expenditures for environmental
control matters either in the current year or in the near future.
Seasonality
Our operating results are not significantly affected by seasonal factors. Sales during the
first and fourth quarters are generally 1-3% below the sales of the second and third quarters, due
to a reduced level of activity during the winter months of November through February. Sales
typically increase beginning in March, with slight fluctuations per month through October. During
periods of economic expansion or contraction our sales by quarter have varied significantly.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
The following factors, among others, could cause our actual results to differ materially from
the forward-looking statements we make. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or
persons working on our behalf are expressly qualified by the following factors. This information
should be read in conjunction with Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risks and the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Form 10-K.
Adverse conditions in the global economy and disruptions of financial markets could negatively
impact our results of operations.
Our results of operations are affected by the level of business activity of our customers,
which in turn is affected by global economic conditions and market factors impacting the industries
and markets that they serve. Although economic conditions have been improving, certain global
economies and markets continue to experience significant uncertainty and volatility. Adverse
economic conditions or lack of liquidity in various markets, particularly in North America, may
adversely affect our revenues and operating results. Economic and financial market conditions also
affect the availability of financing for projects and for our customers capital or other
expenditures, which can result in project delays or cancellations and thus affect demand for our
products. There can be no assurance that any governmental responses to economic conditions or
disruptions in the financial markets ultimately will stabilize the markets or increase our
customers liquidity or the availability of credit to our customers. Should one or more of our
larger customers declare bankruptcy, it could adversely affect the collectability of our accounts
receivable, bad debt reserves and net income. In addition, our ability to access the capital
markets may be restricted at a time when we would like, or need, to do so. The global economic and
financial environment also may affect our business and financial condition in ways that we
currently cannot predict, and there can be no assurance that global economic and market conditions
will not adversely affect our results of operations, cash flow or financial position in the future.
An increase in competition could decrease sales or earnings.
We operate in a highly competitive industry and compete directly with global, national,
regional and local providers of our products. Some of our existing competitors have, and new
market entrants may have, greater resources than us. Competition is primarily focused in the local
service area and is generally based on product line breadth, product availability, service
capabilities and price. Other sources of competition are buying groups formed by smaller
distributors to increase purchasing power and provide some cooperative marketing capability.
Existing or future competitors may seek to gain or retain market share by reducing prices, and
we may be required to lower our prices or may lose business, which could adversely affect our
financial results. Also, to the extent that we do not meet changing customer preferences or
demands or to the extent that one or more of our competitors becomes more successful with private
label products or otherwise, our ability to attract and retain customers could be materially
adversely affected. Existing or future competitors also may seek to compete with us for
acquisitions, which could have the effect of increasing the price and reducing the number of
suitable acquisitions. In addition, it is possible that competitive pressures resulting from
industry consolidation could affect our growth and profit margins.
Our outstanding indebtedness requires debt service commitments that could adversely affect our
ability to fulfill our obligations and could limit our growth and impose restrictions on our
business.
As
of December 31, 2010, we had $908.3 million of consolidated
indebtedness (excludes debt
discount), including $150 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.50% Senior Subordinated Notes
due 2017 (the 2017 Notes) and $345.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.0% Convertible
Senior Debentures due 2029 (the 2029 Debentures). Our consolidated indebtedness also includes our
mortgage facility, revolving credit facility, which has an aggregate borrowing capacity of $375.0
million, and accounts receivable securitization facility (the Receivables Facility), through
which we sell up to $450 million of our accounts receivable to a third-party conduit. We and our
subsidiaries may undertake additional borrowings in the future, subject to certain limitations
contained in the instruments governing our indebtedness.
Our debt service obligations have important consequences, including: our payments of
principal and interest reduce the funds available to us for operations, future business
opportunities and acquisitions and other purposes; they increase our vulnerability to adverse
economic, financial market and industry conditions; our ability to obtain additional financing may
be limited; they may hinder
11
our ability to adjust rapidly to changing market conditions; we may be required to incur additional
interest due to the contingent interest features of the 2029 Debentures, which are embedded
derivatives; and our financial results are affected by increased interest costs. Our ability to
make scheduled payments of principal and interest on our debt, refinance our indebtedness, make
scheduled payments on our operating leases, fund planned capital expenditures or to finance
acquisitions will depend on our future performance, which, to a certain extent, is subject to
economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. There can be no assurance
that our business will continue to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to
service our debt, make necessary capital expenditures or meet other cash needs. If unable to do
so, we may be required to refinance all or a portion of our existing debt, to sell assets or to
obtain additional financing. Our Receivables Facility is subject to renewal in September 2013, and
our revolving credit facility is subject to renewal in November 2013. There can be no assurance
that available funding or any sale of additional receivables or additional financing will be
possible at the times of renewal in amounts or terms favorable to us, if at all.
Over the next three years, we expect to repay approximately $413.0 million of indebtedness, of
which $370.0 million is related to our Receivables Facility, $39.2 million is related to our
mortgage credit facility, $2.9 million is related to capital leases, and $0.2 million is related to
our 1.75% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2026 (the 2026 Debentures) and notes payable
associated with acquisitions.
Certain events or conditions could lead to interruptions in our operations, which may materially
adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We operate a number of facilities and we coordinate company activities, including information
technology systems and administrative services and the like, through our headquarters operations.
Our operations depend on our ability to maintain existing systems and implement new technology,
which includes allocating sufficient resources to periodically upgrade our information technology
systems, and to protect our equipment and the information stored in our databases against both
manmade and natural disasters, as well as power losses, computer and telecommunications failures,
technological breakdowns, unauthorized intrusions, and other events. If our information technology
systems are disrupted, become obsolete or do not adequately support our strategic, operational or
compliance needs, it could result in competitive disadvantage and adversely affect our financial
results and business operations, including our ability to process orders, receive and ship
products, maintain inventories, collect accounts receivable and pay expenses.
We also depend on accessible office facilities, distribution centers and information
technology data centers for our operations to function properly. An interruption of operations at
any of our distribution centers could have a material adverse effect on the operations of branches
served by the affected distribution center. Such disaster related risks and effects are not
predictable with certainty and, although they can be mitigated, they cannot be eliminated. We seek
to mitigate our exposures to disaster events in a number of ways. For example, where feasible, we
design the configuration of our facilities to reduce the consequences of disasters. We also
maintain insurance for our facilities against casualties and we continually evaluate our risks and
develop contingency plans for dealing with them. Although we have reviewed and analyzed a broad
range of risks applicable to our business, the ones that actually affect us may not be those we
have concluded most likely to occur. Furthermore, although our reviews have led to more systematic
contingency planning, our plans are in varying stages of development and execution, such that they
may not be adequate at the time of occurrence for the magnitude of any particular disaster event
that befalls us.
We are subject to costs and risks associated with laws and regulations affecting our business.
The complex legal and regulatory environment exposes us to compliance and litigation costs and
risks that could materially affect our operations and financial results. These laws and
regulations may change, sometimes significantly, as a result of political or economic events. They
include tax laws and regulations, import and export laws and regulations, government contracting
laws and regulations, labor and employment laws and regulations, securities and exchange laws and
regulations (and other laws applicable to publicly-traded companies such as the Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act), and environmental laws and regulations. In addition, proposed laws and regulations
in these and other areas, such as healthcare, could affect the cost of our business operations.
We must attract, retain and motivate key employees, and the failure to do so may adversely affect
our business and results of operations.
Our success depends on hiring, retaining and motivating key employees, including executive,
managerial, sales, technical, marketing and support personnel. We may have difficulty locating and
hiring qualified personnel. In addition, we may have difficulty retaining such personnel once
hired, and key people may leave and compete against us. The loss of key personnel or our failure
to attract and retain other qualified and experienced personnel could disrupt or adversely affect
our business, its sales and results of operations. In addition, our operating results could be
adversely affected by increased costs due to increased competition for employees, higher employee
turnover, which may also result in loss of significant customer business, or increased employee
benefit costs.
12
Acquisitions that we may undertake would involve a number of inherent risks, any of which could
cause us not to realize the benefits anticipated to result.
We have expanded our operations through organic growth and selected acquisitions of businesses
and assets and may seek to do so in the future. Acquisitions involve various inherent risks,
including: problems that could arise from the integration of the acquired business; uncertainties
in assessing the value, strengths, weaknesses, contingent and other liabilities and potential
profitability of acquisition candidates; the potential loss of key employees of an acquired
business; the ability to achieve identified operating and financial synergies anticipated to result
from an acquisition or other transaction; and unanticipated changes in business, industry or
general economic conditions that affect the assumptions underlying the acquisition or other
transaction rationale. Any one or more of these factors could increase our costs or cause us not
to realize the benefits anticipated to result from the acquisition of businesses or assets.
Expansion into new business activities, industries, product lines or geographic areas could subject
the company to increased costs and risks and may not achieve the intended results.
Engaging in or significantly expanding business activities in international product sourcing,
sales and services could subject the company to unexpected costs and risks. Such activities could
subject us to increased operating costs, product liability, regulatory requirements and
reputational risks. Our expansion in new and existing markets, including with manufacturing
related or heavy regulated businesses, may present competitive, distribution and regulatory
challenges that differ from current ones. We may be less familiar with the target customers and
may face different or additional risks, as well as increased or unexpected costs, compared to
existing operations. Growth into new markets may also bring us into direct competition with
companies with whom we have little or no past experience as competitors. To the extent we are
reliant upon expansion into new geographic, industry and product markets for growth and do not meet
the new challenges posed by such expansion, our future sales growth could be negatively impacted,
our operating costs could increase, and our business operations and financial results could be
negatively affected.
Loss of key suppliers, product cost fluctuations, lack of product availability or inefficient
supply chain operations could decrease sales and earnings.
Most of our agreements with suppliers are terminable by either party on 60 days notice or
less. Our ten largest suppliers in 2010 accounted for approximately 32% of our purchases for the
period. Our largest supplier in 2010 was Eaton Corporation, through its Eaton Electrical division,
accounting for approximately 12% of our purchases. The loss of, or a substantial decrease in the
availability of, products from any of these suppliers, a suppliers change in sales strategy to
rely less on distribution channels, or the loss of key preferred supplier agreements, could have a
material adverse effect on our business. Supply interruptions could arise from shortages of raw
materials, effects of economic or financial market conditions on a suppliers operations, labor
disputes or weather conditions affecting products or shipments, transportation disruptions, or
other reasons beyond our control. In addition, certain of our products, such as wire and conduit,
are commodity-price-based products and may be subject to significant price fluctuations which are
beyond our control. Furthermore, we cannot be certain that particular products or product lines
will be available to us, or available in quantities sufficient to meet customer demand. Such
limited product access could cause us to be at a competitive disadvantage. The profitability of
our business is also dependent upon the efficiency of our supply chain. An inefficient or
ineffective supply chain strategy or operations could increase operational costs, reduce profit
margins and adversely affect our business.
Our debt agreements contain restrictions that may limit our ability to operate our business.
Our credit facilities also require us to maintain specific earnings to fixed expenses and debt
to earnings ratios and to meet minimum net worth requirements. Our credit facilities and the
indenture governing the 2017 Notes contain, and any of our future debt agreements may contain,
certain covenant restrictions that limit our ability to operate our business, including
restrictions on our ability to: incur additional debt or issue guarantees; create liens; make
certain investments; enter into transactions with our affiliates; sell certain assets; make capital
expenditures; redeem capital stock or make other restricted payments; declare or pay dividends or
make other distributions to stockholders; and merge or consolidate with any person. Our credit
facilities contain additional affirmative and negative covenants, and our ability to comply with
these covenants is dependent on our future performance, which will be subject to many factors, some
of which are beyond our control, including prevailing economic conditions.
As a result of these covenants, our ability to respond to changes in business and economic
conditions and to obtain additional financing, if needed, may be significantly restricted, and we
may be prevented from engaging in transactions that might otherwise be beneficial to us. In
addition, our failure to comply with these covenants could result in a default under the
Debentures, the 2017 Notes and our other debt, which could permit the holders to accelerate such
debt. If any of our debt is accelerated, we may not have sufficient funds available to repay such
debt.
13
Goodwill and intangible assets recorded as a result of our acquisitions could become impaired.
As of December 31, 2010, our combined goodwill and intangible assets amounted to $1,146.0
million, net of accumulated amortization. To the extent we do not generate sufficient cash flows to
recover the net amount of any investments in goodwill and other intangible assets recorded, the
investment could be considered impaired and subject to write-off. We expect to record further
goodwill and other intangible assets as a result of future acquisitions we may complete. Future
amortization of such other intangible assets or impairments, if any, of goodwill or intangible
assets would adversely affect our results of operations in any given period.
There is a risk that the market value of our common stock may decline.
Stock markets have experienced significant price and trading volume fluctuations, and the
market prices of companies in our industry have been volatile. In recent years, volatility and
disruption reached unprecedented levels. For some issuers, the markets have exerted downward
pressure on stock prices and credit capacity. It is impossible to predict whether the price of our
common stock will rise or fall. Trading prices of our common stock will be influenced by our
operating results and prospects and by global economic, financial and other factors.
Future sales of our common stock in the public market or issuance of securities senior to our
common stock could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock and the value of the
Debentures.
Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock or equity-related securities in the
public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing
trading prices of our common stock and the value of the Debentures and could impair our ability to
raise capital through future offerings of equity or equity-related securities. No prediction can be
made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of shares of common stock or the availability of
shares of common stock for future sale will have on the trading price of our common stock or the
value of the Debentures.
There may be future dilution of our common stock.
To the extent options to purchase common stock under our stock option plans are exercised,
holders of our common stock will incur dilution. Additionally, our Debentures include contingent
conversion price provisions and options for settlement in shares. Based on our current stock price,
the Debentures may be converted into common stock which would increase dilution to our
stockholders.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
None.
Item 2. Properties.
We have approximately 400 branches, of which approximately 325 are located in the United
States, approximately 50 are located in Canada and the remainder are located in Mexico, the United
Kingdom, Singapore, China Australia, Africa and the United Arab Emirates. Approximately 20% of our
branches are owned facilities, and the remainder are leased.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, a number of lawsuits and claims have been or may be asserted against us
relating to the conduct of our business, including routine litigation relating to commercial and
employment matters. The outcome of any litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some
lawsuits may be determined adversely to us. However, management does not believe, based on
information presently available, that the ultimate outcome of any such pending matters is likely to
have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or liquidity, although the resolution in
any quarter of one or more of these matters may have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations for that period.
As initially reported in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we are a co-defendant in a
lawsuit filed in a state court in Indiana in which a customer alleges that we sold defective
products manufactured or remanufactured by others and is seeking monetary damages in the amount of
$52 million. We have denied any liability, continue to believe that we have meritorious defenses
and intend to vigorously defend ourselves against these allegations. Accordingly, no liability was
recorded for this matter as of December 31, 2010.
Information relating to legal proceedings is included in Note 14, Commitments and
Contingencies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and is incorporated herein by
reference.

PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrants Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of
Equity Securities.
Market, Stockholder and Dividend Information. Our common stock is listed on the New York
Stock Exchange under the symbol WCC. As of
February 21, 2011, there were 43,045,119 shares of
common stock outstanding held by approximately 34 holders of record. We have not paid dividends on
the common stock and do not presently plan to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. It is
currently expected that earnings will be reinvested to support business growth, debt reduction or
acquisitions. In addition, our revolving credit facility and the indenture governing the 2017 Notes
restrict our ability to pay dividends. See Part II, Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources. The following
table sets forth the high and low sales prices per share of our common stock, as reported on the
New York Stock Exchange, for the periods indicated.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Company Overview
In 2010, we strengthened our organization and talent base, made improvements to our capital
structure, expanded our international presence, accelerated our LEAN initiatives and completed two
accretive acquisitions. Our financial results reflect improving conditions in our served markets,
higher product prices and product costs, favorable foreign currency exchange rates and the positive
impact of our recent acquisitions. Sales increased $439.9 million, or 9.5%, over the prior year.
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 80.3% and 80.5% in 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Operating income increased to $210.9 million, or 17.2%, primarily from organic growth. As a
result, net income increased 9.9% over the prior year to $115.5 million. Diluted earnings per
share were $2.50 in 2010, compared with $2.46 in 2009.
Our end markets consist of industrial firms, electrical and data communications contractors,
utilities and commercial organizations, institutions and governmental entities. Our transaction
types to these markets can be categorized as stock, direct ship and special order. Stock orders are
filled directly from existing inventory and represent approximately 46% of total sales.
Approximately 43% of our total sales are direct ship sales. Direct ship sales are typically
custom-built products, large orders or products that are too bulky to be easily handled and, as a
result, are shipped directly to the customer from the supplier. Special orders are for products
that are not ordinarily stocked in inventory and are ordered based on a customers specific
request. Special orders represent the remainder of total sales.
We have historically financed our working capital requirements, capital expenditures,
acquisitions, share repurchases and new branch openings through internally generated cash flow,
debt issuances, borrowings under our credit facilities and funding through our Receivables
Facility.
Cash Flow
We generated $127.3 million in operating cash flow during 2010. Included in this amount was
increased operating results offset by investments in working capital to fund our growth. Investing
activities included payments of $265.4 million for the acquisition of the businesses of TVC
Communications and Potelcom. Refer to Note 5 of our notes to the consolidated financial statements
for additional information regarding the recent TVC Communications acquisition. Investing
activities also included proceeds from the sale of our 40% interest in the LADD joint venture.
Proceeds included $40.0 million for our 40% interest, plus $15.0 million for the collection of a
promissory note. Refer to Note 9 of our notes to the consolidated financial statements for
additional information regarding the LADD joint venture. Financing activities during 2010
consisted of borrowings and repayments of $636.0 million and $832.5 million, respectively, related
to our revolving credit facility, and borrowings and repayments of $818.0 million and $493.0
million, respectively, related to our Receivables Facility and payments of $92.3 million related to
the redemption of our 2.625% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2025 (2025 Debentures).
Financing Availability
As of December 31, 2010, we had $325.5 million in total available borrowing capacity. The
available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility, which has a maturity date of
November 1, 2013, was $276.7 million, of which $218.0 million was the U.S. sub-facility borrowing
limit and $58.7 million was the Canadian sub-facility borrowing limit. The available borrowing
capacity under the Receivables Facility, which has a maturity date of September 6, 2013, was $48.8
million. In addition, in August 2009, we completed an exchange offer pursuant to which we issued
$345.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2029 Debentures in exchange for approximately
$299.7 million and $57.7 million in aggregate principal amounts of our 2026 Debentures and 2025
Debentures, respectively. On December 23, 2010, we completed the conversion and redemption of all
our outstanding 2025 Debentures. Our 2029 Debentures cannot be redeemed or repurchased until
September 2016. For further discussion related to the Debentures, refer to Note 6 of the notes to
our consolidated financial statements. We monitor the depository institutions that hold our cash
and cash equivalents on a regular basis, and we believe that we have placed our deposits with
creditworthy financial institutions. For further discussions refer to Liquidity and Capital
Resources.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based
upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial
statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On
an ongoing basis, we evaluate our
18
estimates, including those related to supplier programs, bad debts, inventories, insurance costs,
goodwill, income taxes, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may
differ from these estimates. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by
management, additional adjustments to reserve items may be required. We believe the following
critical accounting policies affect our judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our
consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized for product sales when title, ownership and risk of loss pass to the
customer, or for services when the service is rendered. In the case of stock sales and special
orders, a sale occurs at the time of shipment from our distribution point, as the terms of our
sales are FOB shipping point. In cases where we process customer orders but ship directly from our
suppliers, revenue is recognized once product is shipped and title has passed. For some of our
customers, we provide services such as inventory management or other specific support. Revenues are
recognized upon evidence of fulfillment of the agreed upon services. In all cases, revenue is
recognized once the sales price to our customer is fixed or is determinable and we have reasonable
assurance as to the collectability.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability
of our customers to make required payments. We have a systematic procedure using estimates based on
historical data and reasonable assumptions of collectibles made at the local branch level and on a
consolidated corporate basis to calculate the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Excess and Obsolete Inventory
We write down our inventory for estimated unmarketable inventory equal to the difference
between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future
demand and market conditions. A systematic procedure is used to determine unmarketable inventory
reflecting historical data and reasonable assumptions for the percentage of excess and obsolete
inventory on a consolidated basis.
Supplier Volume Rebates
We receive rebates from certain suppliers based on contractual arrangements with them. Since
there is a lag between actual purchases and the rebates received from the suppliers, we must
estimate and accrue the approximate amount of rebates available at a specific date. We record the
amounts as other accounts receivable on the balance sheet. The corresponding rebate income is
recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold. The appropriate level of such income is derived from
the level of actual purchases made by us from suppliers. Supplier volume rebate rates have
historically ranged between approximately 0.8% and 1.2% of sales depending on market conditions.
In 2010, the rebate rate was above the historical average rate of approximately
1.0% of sales and toward the high end of the historical range.
Goodwill and Indefinite Life Intangible Assets
We test goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets for impairment annually during the
fourth quarter using information available at the end of September, or more frequently when events
or circumstances occur indicating that their carrying value may not be recoverable. We test for
impairment on a reporting unit level. The evaluation of impairment involves comparing the current
fair value of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets to the recorded value. We estimate
the fair value of goodwill using a combination of discounted cash flow analyses and market
multiples. Assumptions used for these fair value techniques are based on a combination of
historical results, current forecasts, market data and recent economic events. We evaluate the
recoverability of indefinite life intangible assets using a discounted cash flow analysis based on
projected financial information. The determination of fair value involves significant management
judgment and we apply our best judgment when assessing the reasonableness of financial projections.
Two primary assumptions were a discount rate of 10.8% and a terminal growth rate of 4.4%.
A possible indicator of impairment is the relationship of a companys market capitalization to
its book value. As of December 31, 2010, our market capitalization exceeded our book value and
there were no reporting units sensitive to impairment. We cannot predict whether or not there will
be certain events that could adversely affect the reported value of goodwill and trademarks, which
totaled $1,031.4 million and $901.3 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Intangible Assets
We account for certain economic benefits purchased as a result of our acquisitions, including
customer relations, distribution agreements, technology and trademarks, as intangible assets.
Except for trademarks, which have an indefinite life, we amortize intangible assets over a useful
life determined by the expected cash flows produced by such intangibles and their respective tax
benefits. Useful lives vary between 4 and 19 years, depending on the specific intangible asset.
19
Insurance Programs
We use commercial insurance for auto, workers compensation, casualty and health claims as a
risk sharing strategy to reduce our exposure to catastrophic losses. Our strategy involves large
deductibles where we must pay all costs up to the deductible amount. We
estimate our reserve based on historical incident rates and costs.
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of
events that have been included in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting
and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which
the differences are expected to reverse.
We record our deferred tax assets at amounts that are expected to be realized. We evaluate
future taxable income and potential tax planning strategies in assessing the potential need for a
valuation allowance. Should we determine that it is more likely than not that we would not be able
to realize all or part of our deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax
asset would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.
We account for uncertainty in income taxes using a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute prescribed by income tax accounting guidance. We frequently review tax issues and
positions taken on tax returns to determine the need and amount of contingency reserves necessary
to cover any probable audit adjustments.
Convertible Debentures
We separately account for the liability and equity components of our convertible debentures in
a manner that reflects our nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. We estimate our non-convertible
debt borrowing rate through a combination of discussions with our financial institutions and review
of relevant market data. The discounts to the convertible note balances are amortized to interest
expense, using the effective interest method, over the implicit life of the
debentures.
Stock-Based Compensation
Our stock-based employee compensation plans are comprised of stock options, stock-settled
stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units. Compensation cost for all stock-based awards
is measured at fair value on the date of grant, and compensation cost is recognized, net of
estimated forfeitures, over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock
options and stock-settled appreciation rights is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation
model. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of our common stock. We estimate
the expected life of stock options and stock-settled stock appreciation rights using historical
data pertaining to option exercises and employee terminations. The risk-free rate is based on the
U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant. The forfeiture assumption is based on our
historical employee behavior, which we review on an annual basis. The fair value of restricted
stock units is determined by the grant-date closing price of our common stock. No dividends are
assumed for stock based awards.

2010 Compared to 2009
Net Sales. Sales in 2010 increased 9.5% to $5,063.9 million, compared with $4,624.0 million in
2009. Sales were positively impacted by our growth initiatives, improved conditions in our markets
served, higher product prices due primarily to rising supplier product and commodity prices,
favorable foreign currency exchange rates and the acquisitions completed in 2010.
Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased 9.2% in 2010 to $4,065.4 million, compared
with $3,724.1 million in 2009. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 80.3% in 2010
versus 80.5% in 2009. The decrease in the cost of goods sold percentage was primarily due to
higher supplier volume rebate rates, which were driven by the increase in sales.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses. SG&A expenses include costs associated
with personnel, shipping and handling, travel, advertising, facilities, utilities and bad debts.
SG&A expenses increased by $69.7 million, or 10.0%, to $763.6 million in 2010 due to the increase
in commissions and incentives and the restoration of temporary cost and benefit reductions taken in
the prior year. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses increased to 15.1% of sales, compared
with 15.0% in 2009, reflecting the impact of the reinstatement of discretionary benefits, the
absence of mandatory unpaid leave of absences in the current year, an impairment charge related to
our 40% interest in the LADD joint venture and an increase in variable operating expenses partially
offset by the decrease in severance costs related to headcount cost reduction actions taken in the
prior year. SG&A payroll expenses for 2010 of $527.5 million increased by $60.5 million compared
to 2009. The increase in payroll expense was primarily due to the increase in commissions and
incentives of $27.8 million, the net impact of $24.3 million related to temporary cost reductions
taken in the prior year and an increase in temporary labor costs of $5.2 million. Other SG&A
payroll related costs increased by $3.2 million. Contributing to the remaining change in SG&A
expenses was a charge of $3.8 million related to the impairment of our 40% interest in the LADD
joint venture and an increase in various operating expenses of $5.4 million due to the increase in
business activity levels.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased $2.1 million to $23.9
million in 2010, compared with $26.0 million in 2009. The decrease in depreciation and amortization
was due to the reduction in capital expenditures in 2009 and 2010.
Income from Operations. Income from operations increased by $31.0 million, or 17.2%, to $210.9
million in 2010, compared to $180.0 million in 2009. The increase in operating income was primarily
due to improved conditions in our markets served.
Interest Expense. Interest expense totaled $57.6 million in 2010, compared with $53.8 million
in 2009, an increase of 7.1%. Interest expense was impacted by an increase in interest rates and
interest expense of $4.2 million resulting from the resolution of a tax matter dating back a number
of years. Interest rates increased upon amending both the Receivables Facility and the revolving
credit facility in April 2009 and February 2010, respectively. The Receivables Facility was
amended again in September 2010 to, among other things, reduce the program fee and commitment fee.
It is expected that these changes will have a favorable impact on interest expense in the future.
Amortization of the debt discount resulted in non-cash interest expense of $4.3 million in 2010 and
$11.8 million in 2009.
21
Other Income. Other income, comprised of equity income from the LADD joint venture, totaled
$4.3 million in 2010 versus $5.0
million in 2009. The decrease in other income is due to the sale of our 40% interest in the LADD
joint venture, on June 7, 2010, to Deutsch Engineered Connecting Devices, Inc. (Deutsch),
previously the 60% owner of the LADD joint venture. We accounted for our investment in the LADD
joint venture on an equity basis, and earnings were reported as other income in the consolidated
statement of income. We received equity income through May 31, 2010 and distributions through
April 20, 2010, the date Deutsch notified WESCO of its exercise of its option to purchase the
remaining 40% of the LADD joint venture. As a result of this transaction, in the future there will
be no other income reported for the LADD joint venture.
Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rate increased to 26.7% in 2010, compared
with 23.4% in 2009, primarily as a result of the increase in taxable income in the United States
partially offset by the resolution of tax positions related to transfer pricing between Canada and
the United States.
Net Income. Net income and diluted earnings per share on a consolidated basis totaled $115.5
million and $2.50 per share, respectively, in 2010, compared with $105.1 million and $2.46 per
share, respectively, in 2009.
2009 Compared to 2008
Net Sales. Sales in 2009 decreased 24.3% to $4,624.0 million, compared with $6,110.8 million
in 2008. Sales were negatively impacted by weak market conditions, lower commodity prices, and
unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates.
Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold decreased 24.1% in 2009 to $3,724.1 million, compared
with $4,904.2 million in 2008 and cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 80.5% in 2009
versus 80.3% in 2008. The cost of goods sold percentage increased due to lower supplier volume
rebate rates, which resulted in a decrease in rebate income of $21.4 million and a reduction in
cash discounts of $11.9 million due to a decrease in inventory purchases.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses include costs associated with
personnel, shipping and handling, travel, advertising, facilities, utilities and bad debts. SG&A
expenses decreased by $140.4 million, or 16.8%, to $693.9 million in 2009 due to aggressive cost
reduction actions. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses increased to 15.0% of sales,
compared with 13.7% in 2008, reflecting a decrease in sales volume. SG&A payroll expenses for 2009
of $467.0 million decreased by $96.1 million compared to 2008. Contributing to the decrease in
payroll expenses was the decrease in salaries and wages of $40.0 million, a decrease in commission
and incentive costs of $35.1 million, a decrease in benefit costs of $13.6 million and a decrease
in temporary labor costs of $5.9 million. Other SG&A payroll related costs decreased by $1.5
million. Contributing to the remaining change in SG&A expenses was bad debt expense which
decreased to $6.1 million in 2009, compared with $10.1 million for 2008, due to significant charges
recorded in last years comparable period. Also included in this years SG&A expenses was a
decrease in travel costs of $12.9 million, a decrease in transportation costs of $10.2 million, a
decrease in other operating expenses of $6.9 million, a decrease in occupancy costs of $4.8 million
and a decrease in supplies cost of $3.9 million. Other SG&A expenses decreased by $1.6 million.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased $0.7 million to $26.0
million in 2009, compared with $26.7 million in 2008. The decrease in depreciation and amortization
was due to the reduction in capital expenditures in 2009.
Income from Operations. Income from operations decreased by $165.7 million, or 47.9%, to
$180.0 million in 2009, compared to $345.7 million in 2008. The decrease in operating income was
primarily due to the decline in sales attributable to the weak market conditions.
Interest Expense. Interest expense totaled $53.8 million in 2009, compared with $64.2 million
in 2008, a decrease of 16.2%. Interest expense was impacted by both the reduction in interest
rates and the decrease in debt. Amortization of the debt discount resulted in non-cash interest
expense of $11.8 million in 2009 and $14.5 million in 2008.
Other Income. Other income, comprised of equity income from the LADD joint venture, totaled
$5.0 million in 2009 versus $9.4 million in 2008. We accounted for our investment in the LADD
joint venture on an equity basis, and earnings were reported as other income in the consolidated
statement of income. The decrease in other income is due to the decrease in the joint ventures
income.
Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rate decreased to 23.4% in 2009, compared with 29.8% in
2008, primarily as a result of the impact from foreign jurisdictions.
Net Income. Net income and diluted earnings per share on a consolidated basis totaled $105.1
million and $2.46 per share, respectively, in 2009, compared with $204.1 million and $4.71 per
share, respectively, in 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total assets were $2.8 billion at December 31, 2010, compared to $2.5 billion at December 31,
2009. The $332.6 million increase in total assets was principally attributable to the purchase of
the business of TVC Communications. The allocation of the purchase price of the business of TVC
Communications resulted in goodwill and intangible assets of $109.2 million and $86.4 million,
22
respectively. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in cash of $58.8 million and a
decrease in investment in subsidiary of
$44.0 million related to the sale of our 40% interest in the LADD joint venture. Total liabilities
at December 31, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009 increased by $180.3 million to $1.7 billion.
Contributing to the increase in total liabilities was an increase in accounts payable of $84.4
million due to the increase in purchasing activity and the acquisition of the business of TVC
Communications; an increase in current and long-term debt of $38.0 million; an increase in accrued
payroll and benefit costs of $36.0 million due to the increase in commissions and incentives; and
an increase in deferred income taxes of $17.1 million. Stockholders equity increased by 15.3% to
$1,148.6 million at December 31, 2010, compared with $996.3 million at December 31, 2009, primarily
as a result of net earnings of $115.5 million, stock-based compensation expense of $15.8 million,
foreign currency translations adjustment of $11.6 million and the redemption of our 2025 Debentures
which resulted in an increase of $5.2 million to additional capital.

Our liquidity needs generally arise from fluctuations in our working capital requirements,
capital expenditures, share repurchases, acquisitions and debt service obligations. As of December
31, 2010, we had $276.7 million in available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit
facility, which combined with our $48.8 million of available borrowing capacity under our
Receivables Facility and our invested cash provided liquidity of $338.0 million. During the second
quarter of 2010, we used proceeds from the sale of our 40% interest in the LADD joint venture, net
of payments for the acquisition of the business of Potelcom to pay down our variable rate debt.
During the fourth quarter of 2010, we used borrowings under the Receivables Facility and cash to
fund the acquisition price paid for the business of TVC Communications. We believe cash provided
by operations and financing activities will be adequate to cover our current operational and
business needs.
23
We communicate on a regular basis with our lenders regarding our financial and working capital
performance and liquidity
position. We are in compliance with all covenants and restrictions contained in our debt
agreements as of December 31, 2010.
Over the next several quarters, we expect to maintain working capital productivity, and it is
expected that excess cash will be directed primarily at debt reduction and acquisitions. Our near
term focus will be managing our cost structure as we experience sales growth and maintaining ample
liquidity and credit availability. We anticipate capital expenditures to increase in 2011 by
approximately $10.0 million to $25.0 million. We believe our balance sheet and ability to generate
ample cash flow provides us with a durable business model and should allow us to fund expansion
needs and growth initiatives during this time of economic recovery.
We finance our operating and investing needs as follows:
Mortgage Financing Facility
In 2003, we finalized a mortgage financing facility of $51.0 million, $39.2 million of which
was outstanding as of December 31, 2010. Total borrowings under the mortgage financing facility are
subject to a 22-year amortization schedule, with a balloon payment due at the end of the 10-year
term. The interest rate on borrowings under this facility is fixed at 6.5%.
Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility
During 2010, we entered into amendments of our existing Receivables Facility, pursuant to the
terms and conditions of the Second and Third Amendments to Third Amended and Restated Receivables
Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 13, 2009 (the Agreement), by and among WESCO Receivables
Corp., WESCO Distribution, Inc. (WESCO Distribution), the Purchasers and Purchaser Agents party
thereto and PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrator. The Second Amendment lowered the
program fee from 3.0% to 1.75%, the commitment fee from 1.0% to 0.75%, and extended the term of the
Receivables Facility to September 6, 2013. The Third Amendment increased the purchase commitment
from $400 million to $450 million and added TVC Communications as an originator under the facility.
Under the Receivables Facility, we sell, on a continuous basis, an undivided interest in all
domestic accounts receivable to WESCO Receivables Corp., a wholly owned special purpose entity (the
SPE). The SPE sells, without recourse, a senior undivided interest in the receivables to
third-party conduits and financial institutions for cash while maintaining a subordinated undivided
interest in the receivables, in the form of overcollateralization. We have agreed to continue
servicing the sold receivables for the third-party conduits and financial institutions at market
rates; accordingly, no servicing asset or liability has been recorded.
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, accounts receivable eligible for securitization totaled
approximately $537.0 million and $439.7 million, respectively. The consolidated balance sheets as
of December 31, 2010 and 2009 reflect $370.0 million and $45.0 million, respectively, of account
receivable balances legally sold to third parties, as well as borrowings for equal amounts. At
December 31, 2010, the interest rate on borrowings under this facility was approximately 2.2%.
Revolving Credit Facility
At December 31, 2010, the aggregate borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility was
$375 million. The revolving credit facility consists of two separate sub-facilities: (i) a U.S.
sub-facility and (ii) a Canadian sub-facility and includes a letter of credit sub-limit of up to
$55 million. The facility matures on November 1, 2013 and is collateralized by the inventory of
WESCO Distribution and the inventory and accounts receivable of WESCO Distribution Canada, L.P.
WESCO Distributions obligations under the revolving credit facility have been guaranteed by WESCO
International and by certain of WESCO Distributions subsidiaries.
During 2010, we entered into Limited Consents and Amendments No. 4, 5 and 6 (the
Amendments), respectively, to our Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, dated
November 1, 2006 (the Agreement). The Amendments permit us to complete certain legal entity
restructuring actions, issue additional surety bonds, and invest additional resources in foreign
subsidiaries. In addition, the Amendments enhance our hedging capacities and include TVC
Communications and certain of its subsidiaries as parties under the Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of Amendment No. 4, we agreed to modify the Applicable Margins (as
defined in the Agreement) paid to the lenders on borrowings and letters of credit. Availability
under the facility is limited to the amount of eligible U.S. and Canadian inventory and Canadian
receivables applied against certain advance rates. Depending upon the amount of excess availability
under the facility, interest will be calculated at LIBOR plus a margin that ranges between 2.25%
and 2.875% or at the Index Rate (prime rate published by the Wall Street Journal) plus a margin
that ranges between 1.00% and 1.625%. This change represented a 1.125% to 1.25% adjustment in
borrowing margin over the previous rates. The fee for unused capacity associated with the facility
was not changed and will range between 0.25% and 0.375%. At December 31, 2010, the interest rate
on borrowings under this facility was approximately 2.8%.
As long as the average daily excess availability for both the preceding and projected
succeeding 90-day period is greater than $50 million, we would be permitted to make acquisitions
and repurchase outstanding public stock and bonds. The above permitted
24
transactions also are
allowed if such excess availability is between $25 million and $50 million and our fixed charge
coverage ratio, as
defined by Agreement, is at least 1.25 to 1.0 after taking into consideration the permitted
transaction. Additionally, if excess availability under the revolving credit facility is less than
$60 million, then we must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1.0.
During 2010, we borrowed $636.0 million in the aggregate under the revolving credit facility
and made repayments in the aggregate amount of $832.5 million. During 2009, aggregate borrowings
and repayments were $308.7 million and $309.7 million, respectively. At December 31, 2010, we did
not have a balance outstanding under the facility. We had $276.7 million available under the
facility at December 31, 2010, after giving effect to outstanding letters of credit, as compared to
approximately $87.4 million at December 31, 2009.
7.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017
At December 31, 2010, $150 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Notes was
outstanding. The 2017 Notes were issued by WESCO Distribution under an indenture dated as of
September 27, 2005, with The Bank of New York, as successor to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National
Association, as trustee, and are unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by WESCO
International. The 2017 Notes accrue interest at the rate of 7.50% per annum and are payable in
cash semi-annually in arrears on each April 15 and October 15.
At any time on or after October 15, 2010, we may redeem all or a part of the 2017 Notes.
Between October 15, 2010 and October 14, 2011, we may redeem all or a part of the 2017 Notes at a
redemption price equal to 103.75% of the principal amount. Between October 15, 2011 and October 14,
2012, we may redeem all or a part of the 2017 Notes at a redemption price equal to 102.50% of the
principal amount. On and after October 15, 2013, we may redeem all or a part of the 2017 Notes at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount.
If WESCO Distribution undergoes a change of control prior to maturity, holders of 2017 Notes
will have the right, at their option, to require us to repurchase for cash some or all of their
2017 Notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 2017 Notes being
repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the repurchase date.
2.625% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2025
Proceeds of $150 million were received in connection with the issuance of the 2025 Debentures
by WESCO International under an indenture dated as of September 27, 2005 with The Bank of New York,
as successor to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee, and were
unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by WESCO Distribution. On
August 27, 2009, WESCO International completed an exchange offer pursuant to which it issued $345.0
million in aggregate principal amount of 2029 Debentures in exchange for approximately $299.7
million and $57.7 million in aggregate principal amounts of its outstanding 2026 Debentures and
2025 Debentures, respectively (see the discussion below under 6.0% Convertible Senior Debentures
due 2029 for additional information). On November 19, 2010, WESCO International, Inc. announced
that it would redeem all of its outstanding 2025 Debentures. In connection with the redemption,
holders of $89.8 million aggregate principal amount of 2025 Debentures converted their debentures.
In settlement of those conversions, we paid an aggregate of approximately $89.8 million in cash,
including cash in lieu of fractional shares, and issued 340,213 shares of our common stock. We
redeemed the remaining $2.5 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2025 Debentures at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. As of
December 31, 2010, there were no 2025 Debentures outstanding.
On January 1, 2009, we retrospectively applied the provisions of guidance concerning
convertible debt instruments to the 2025 Debentures. We utilized an interest rate of 6% to reflect
the non convertible market rate of our offering upon issuance. We amortized the debt discount over
a five year period starting on the date of issuance. Non-cash interest expense of $2.1 million,
$4.0 million and $4.3 million was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
1.75% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2026
Proceeds of $300 million were received in connection with the issuance of the 2026 Debentures
by WESCO International under an indenture dated as of November 2, 2006 with The Bank of New York,
as Trustee, and are unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by WESCO
Distribution. On August 27, 2009, WESCO International completed an exchange offer pursuant to which
it issued $345.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2029 Debentures in exchange for
approximately $299.7 million and $57.7 million in aggregate principal amounts of its outstanding
2026 Debentures and 2025 Debentures, respectively (see the 6.0% Convertible Senior Debentures due
2029 discussion below for additional information). We intend to redeem the remaining $0.2 million
of the outstanding 2026 Debentures during 2011.
25
On January 1, 2009, we retrospectively applied the provisions of guidance concerning
convertible debt instruments to the 2026 Debentures. We utilized an interest rate of 6% to reflect
the non convertible market rate of its offering upon issuance. We are amortizing the debt discount
over a five year period starting on the date of issuance. Non-cash interest expense of less than
$0.1
million, $7.1 million and $10.2 million was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009
and 2008, respectively. The debt discount amortization will be less than $0.1 million in 2011.
6.0% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2029
On August 27, 2009, WESCO International completed an exchange offer pursuant to which it
issued $345.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2029 Debentures in exchange for
approximately $299.7 million and $57.7 million in aggregate principal amounts of its outstanding
2026 Debentures and 2025 Debentures, respectively. As a result of the debt exchange, WESCO recorded
a gain of $6.0 million, which included the write-off of debt issuance costs. The 2029 Debentures
were issued pursuant to an Indenture dated August 27, 2009 (the Indenture), with The Bank of New
York Mellon, as trustee, and are unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinate
basis by WESCO Distribution.
We utilized an interest rate of 13.875% to reflect the non-convertible debt borrowing rate of
our offering upon issuance, which was determined based on discussions with our financial
institutions and a review of relevant market data, and resulted in a $181.2 million discount to the
2029 Debenture balance and a net increase in additional capital of $106.5 million. In addition, the
financing costs related to the issuance of the 2029 Debentures were allocated between the debt and
equity components. We are amortizing the debt discount and financing costs over the life of the
instrument. Non-cash interest expense of $2.1 million was recorded for the year ended December 31,
2010 and $0.7 million was recorded for the period from August 27, 2009 to December 31, 2009. The
debt discount amortization will approximate $2.4 million in 2011, $2.7 million in 2012, $3.1
million in 2013, $3.6 million in 2014, and $4.1 million in 2015.
While the 2029 Debentures accrue interest at an effective interest rate of 13.875% (as
described above), the coupon interest rate of 6.0% per annum is payable in cash semi-annually in
arrears on each March 15 and September 15, commencing March 15, 2010. Beginning with the six-month
period commencing September 15, 2016, we will also pay contingent interest in cash during any
six-month period in which the trading price of the 2029 Debentures for each of the five trading
days ending on the second trading day immediately preceding the first day of the applicable
six-month interest period equals or exceeds 120% of the principal amount of the 2026 Debentures.
During any interest period when contingent interest shall be payable, the contingent interest
payable per $1,000 principal amount of 2029 Debentures will equal 0.25% of the average trading
price of $1,000 principal amount of the 2029 Debentures during the five trading days immediately
preceding the first day of the applicable six-month interest period. In accordance with guidance
related to derivatives and hedging, the contingent interest feature of the 2029 Debentures is an
embedded derivative that is not considered clearly and closely related to the host contract. The
contingent interest component had no significant value at issuance or December 31, 2010.
The 2029 Debentures are convertible into cash, and in certain circumstances, shares of WESCO
Internationals common stock, $0.01 par value, at any time on or after September 15, 2028, or prior
to September 15, 2028 in certain circumstances. The 2029 Debentures will be convertible based on an
initial conversion rate of 34.6433 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2029
Debentures (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $28.87 per share). The
conversion rate and conversion price may be adjusted under certain circumstances.
At any time on or after September 15, 2016, we may redeem all or a part of the 2029 Debentures
plus accrued and unpaid interest (including contingent interest and additional interest, if any)
to, but not including, the redemption date. If WESCO International undergoes certain fundamental
changes, as defined in the Indenture, prior to maturity, holders of the 2029 Debentures will have
the right, at their option, to require us to repurchase for cash some or all of their 2029
Debentures at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Debentures being
repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including contingent interest and additional
interest, if any) to, but not including, the repurchase date.

Covenant Compliance
We were in compliance with all relevant covenants contained in our debt agreements as of
December 31, 2010.
Cash Flow
An analysis of cash flows for 2010 and 2009 follows:
Operating Activities. Cash provided by operating activities for 2010 totaled $127.3 million,
compared with $291.7 million of cash generated in 2009. Cash provided by operating activities
included net income of $115.5 million and adjustments to net income totaling $70.5 million. Others
sources of cash in 2010 were generated from an increase in accounts payable of $53.9 million, an
increase in accrued payroll and benefit costs of $34.4 million due to the increase in commissions,
incentives and benefit costs and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $12.6
million. Primary uses of cash in 2010 included: $118.5 million for the increase in trade and other
receivables, resulting from the increase in sales; $33.9 million for the increase in inventory; and
$7.2 million for the decrease in other current and noncurrent liabilities. In 2009, primary
sources of cash were net income of $105.1 million and adjustments to net income totaling $41.3
million; a decrease in accounts receivable and inventory of $179.7 million and $107.8 million,
respectively, resulting from the decrease in sales activity; and an increase in other current and
noncurrent liabilities of $4.0 million. Cash used by operating activities in 2009 included: $114.3
million for the decrease in accounts payable, resulting from the decrease in purchasing activity;
$19.4 million for the decrease in accrued payroll and benefit costs; and $12.5 million for the
increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets.
Investing Activities. Net cash used by investing activities in 2010 was $220.5 million,
compared with $10.7 million of net cash used in 2009. Included in 2010 were payments of $265.4
million for the acquisition of the businesses of TVC Communications and Potelcom. Investing
activities for 2010 also included proceeds from the sale of our 40% interest in the LADD joint
venture. Proceeds included $40.0 million for our 40% interest, plus $15.0 million for the
collection of a promissory note. Capital expenditures were $15.1 million and $13.0 million in 2010
and 2009, respectively.
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2010 was $30.6 million,
compared with $264.9 million of net cash used in 2009. During 2010, borrowings and repayments of
long-term debt of $636.0 million and $832.5 million, respectively, were made to our revolving
credit facility. Borrowings and repayments of $818.0 million and $493.0 million respectively, were
applied to our Receivables Facility, and there were repayments of $1.6 million to our mortgage
financing facility. Financing activities in 2010 also included payments of $92.3 million related
to the redemption of our 2025 Debentures. During 2009, borrowings and repayments of long-term debt
of $308.7 million and $309.7 million, respectively, were made to our revolving credit facility.
Borrowings and repayments of $95.0 million and $345.0 million, respectively, were applied to our
Receivables Facility, and there were repayments of $1.5 million to our mortgage financing facility.

Interest on the variable rate debt was calculated using the rates and balances outstanding at December 31, 2010 |
Purchase orders for inventory requirements and service contracts are not included in
the table above. Generally, our purchase orders and contracts contain clauses allowing for
cancellation. We do not have significant agreements to purchase material or goods that would
specify minimum order quantities. Also, we do not consider obligations to taxing authorities to be
contractual obligations requiring disclosure due to the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate
settlement and timing of these obligations. As such, we have not included $13.1 million of such
liability in the table above.
27
Inflation
The rate of inflation, as measured by changes in the consumer price index, affects different
commodities, the cost of products purchased and ultimately the pricing of our different products
and product classes to our customers. Our pricing related to inflation did not have a material
impact on our sales revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010. Historically, price changes from
suppliers have been consistent with inflation and have not had a material impact on the results of
operations.
Seasonality
Our operating results are not significantly affected by seasonal factors. Sales during the
first and fourth quarters are generally 1-3% below the sales of the second and third quarters, due
to a reduced level of activity during the winter months of November through February. Sales
typically increase beginning in March, with slight fluctuations per month through October. During
periods of economic expansion or contraction our sales by quarter have varied significantly.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
See Note 2 of our Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the
effect of new accounting pronouncements.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks.
Foreign Currency Risks
Approximately 83% of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars and are primarily from
customers in the United States. As a result, currency fluctuations are currently not material to
our operating results. We do have foreign subsidiaries located in North America, South America,
Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia and may establish additional foreign subsidiaries in the future.
Accordingly, we may derive a more significant portion of our sales from international operations,
and a portion of these sales may be denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, our future
operating results could become subject to fluctuations in the exchange rates of those currencies in
relation to the U.S. dollar. Furthermore, to the extent that we engage in international sales
denominated in U.S. dollars, an increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign
currencies could make our products less competitive in international markets. We have monitored and
will continue to monitor our exposure to currency fluctuations.
Interest Rate Risk
Fixed Rate Borrowings: Approximately 59% of our debt portfolio is comprised of fixed rate
debt. At various times, we have refinanced our debt to mitigate the impact of interest rate
fluctuations. In 2005, we issued $150 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2017 Notes at
7.5% and $150 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2025 Debentures at 2.625% (accounted for
at an effective fixed rate of 6.0%). In 2006, we issued additional fixed rate debt, which included
$300 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Debentures at 1.75% (accounted for at an
effective fixed rate of 6.0%). In August 2009, we completed an exchange offer pursuant to which we
issued $345.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2029 Debentures at 6.0% (accounted for at an
effective fixed rate of 13.875%) in exchange for approximately $299.7 million and $57.7 million in
aggregate principal amounts of our outstanding 2026 Debentures and 2025 Debentures, respectively.
The remaining outstanding balance of the 2025 Debentures was redeemed in December 2010. As these
borrowings were issued at fixed rates, interest expense would not be impacted by interest rate
fluctuations, although market value would be. The aggregate fair value of these debt instruments
was $860.2 million at December 31, 2010. Interest expense on our other fixed rate debt also would
not be impacted by changes in market interest rates, and for this debt, fair value approximated
carrying value (see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Floating Rate Borrowings: Our variable rate borrowings at December 31, 2010 totaled $370.0
million and represented the amount outstanding under the Receivables Facility. There were no
borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2010. The fair value of
these debt instruments at December 31, 2010 was $370.0 million. We borrow under our revolving
credit facility for general corporate purposes, including working capital requirements and capital
expenditures. During 2010, our average daily borrowing under the facility was $54.9 million.
Borrowings under our facility bear interest at the applicable LIBOR or base rate and therefore we
are subject to fluctuations in interest rates. Additionally, we borrow under our Receivables
Facility, which bears interest at the 30 day commercial paper rate plus applicable margin. A 100
basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would not have a significant impact on future
earnings under our current capital structure.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
The information required by this item is set forth in our Consolidated Financial Statements
contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Specific financial statements can be found at the
pages listed below:
WESCO International, Inc.
29
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of WESCO International, Inc.,
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated
statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of WESCO International, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement
schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related
consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on
criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Companys management is
responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining
effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting, included in Managements Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these
financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Companys internal control
over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control
over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial
statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal
control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over
financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating
the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits
also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company;
and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As
described in Managements Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting management has excluded TVC Communications. LLC
from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2010 because it was acquired by the Company in a
purchase business combination during December 2010. We have also
excluded TVC Communications, LLC from our audit of internal control
over financial reporting. TVC Communication, LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary whose
total assets and total revenues represent $295.5 million and $6.9
million, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement
amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010.

WESCO INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
WESCO International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, WESCO), headquartered in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is a full-line distributor of electrical, industrial and communications
maintenance, repair and operating (MRO) and original equipment manufactures (OEM) products,
construction materials, and advanced supply chain management and logistics services used primarily
in the industrial, construction, utility and commercial, institutional and government markets. We
serve over 100,000 customers globally, through approximately 400 full service branches and seven
distribution centers located primarily in the United States, Canada and Mexico, with additional
locations in the United Kingdom, Singapore, China, Australia, Africa and the United Arab Emirates.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of WESCO International, Inc.
(WESCO International) and all of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying
disclosures. Although these estimates are based on managements best knowledge of current events
and actions WESCO may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from the
estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized for product sales when title, ownership and risk of loss pass to the
customer or for services when the service is rendered. In the case of stock sales and special
orders, a sale occurs at the time of shipment from our distribution point, as the terms of WESCOs
sales are FOB shipping point. In cases where we process customer orders but ship directly from our
suppliers, revenue is recognized once product is shipped and title has passed. For some of our
customers, we provide services such as inventory management or other specific support. Revenues are
recognized upon evidence of fulfillment of the agreed upon services. In all cases, revenue is
recognized once the sales price to our customer is fixed or is determinable and WESCO has
reasonable assurance as to the collectability.
Supplier Volume Rebates
WESCO receives volume rebates from certain suppliers based on contractual arrangements with
such suppliers. An asset, included within other accounts receivable on the balance sheet,
represents the estimated amounts due to WESCO under the rebate provisions of such contracts. The
corresponding rebate income is recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold. The appropriate level
of such income is derived from the level of actual purchases made by WESCO from suppliers.
Receivables under the supplier rebate program were $31.0 million at December 31, 2010 and $21.6
million at December 31, 2009. Supplier
volume rebate rates have historically ranged between approximately 0.8% and 1.2% of sales depending
on market conditions. In 2010, the rebate rate was above the historical
average rate of approximately 1.0% of sales and toward the high end
of the historical range.
Shipping and Handling Costs and Fees
WESCO records the costs and fees associated with transporting its products to customers as a
component of selling, general and administrative expenses. These costs totaled $42.4 million, $49.2
million and $59.4 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are defined as highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days
or less when purchased.
Asset Securitization
WESCO maintains control of the receivables transferred pursuant to its accounts receivable
securitization program (the Receivables Facility); therefore the transfers do not qualify for
sale treatment. As a result, the transferred receivables remain on the balance sheet, and WESCO
recognizes the related secured borrowing. The expenses associated with the Receivables Facility are
35
reported as interest expense in the statement of income.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
WESCO maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the
inability of its customers to make required payments. WESCO has a systematic procedure using
estimates based on historical data and reasonable assumptions of collectability made at the local
branch level and on a consolidated corporate basis to calculate the allowance for doubtful
accounts. If the financial condition of WESCOs customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an
impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. The allowance
for doubtful accounts was $18.6 million at December 31, 2010 and $20.1 million at December 31,
2009. The total amount recorded as selling, general and administrative expense related to bad debts
was $6.4 million, $6.1 million and $10.1 million for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories primarily consist of merchandise purchased for resale and are stated at the lower
of cost or market. Cost is determined principally under the average cost method. WESCO makes
provisions for obsolete or slow-moving inventories as necessary to reflect reduction in inventory
value. Reserves for excess and obsolete inventories were $20.5 million and $19.8 million at
December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The total expense related to excess and obsolete
inventories, included in cost of goods sold, was $7.5 million, $7.8 million and $9.2 million for
2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. WESCO absorbs into the cost of inventory the general and
administrative expenses related to inventory such as purchasing, receiving and storage and at
December 31, 2010 and 2009, $43.8 million and $44.8 million, respectively, of these costs were
included in ending inventory.
Other Assets
WESCO amortizes deferred financing fees over the term of the various debt instruments.
Deferred financing fees in the amount of $2.6 million were incurred during the year ending December
31, 2010. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the amount of other assets related to unamortized
deferred financing fees was $12.6 million and $12.7 million, respectively.
Property, Buildings and Equipment
Property, buildings and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation expense is determined
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over either their respective lease terms or their estimated lives,
whichever is shorter. Estimated useful lives range from five to forty years for leasehold
improvements and buildings and three to ten years for furniture, fixtures and equipment.
Capitalized computer software costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful life, typically three to five years, and are reported at the lower of unamortized
cost or net realizable value.
Expenditures for new facilities and improvements that extend the useful life of an asset are
capitalized. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When property is retired or
otherwise disposed of, the cost and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts and any related gains or losses are recorded and reported as selling, general and
administrative expenses.
WESCO assesses its long-lived assets for impairment by periodically reviewing operating
performance and respective utilization of real and tangible assets. Upon closure of any branch,
asset usefulness and remaining life are evaluated and any charges taken as appropriate. Of WESCOs
$118.0 million net book value of property, plant and equipment as of December 31, 2010, $71.8
million consists of land, buildings and leasehold improvements and are geographically dispersed
among WESCOs 400 branches and seven distribution centers, mitigating the risk of impairment.
Approximately $23.0 million of assets consist of computer equipment and capitalized software and
are evaluated for use and serviceability relative to carrying value. The remaining fixed assets,
mainly of furniture and fixtures, warehousing equipment and transportation equipment, are similarly
evaluated for serviceability and use.
Goodwill and Indefinite Life Intangible Assets
Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are tested for impairment annually during the
fourth quarter using information available at the end September, or more frequently if events or
circumstances occur indicating that their carrying value may not be recoverable. The evaluation of
impairment involves comparing the current fair value of goodwill and indefinite life intangible
assets to the recorded value. WESCO estimates the fair value of goodwill using a combination of
discounted cash flow analyses and market multiples. Assumptions used for these fair value
techniques are based on a combination of historical results, current forecasts, market data and
recent economic events. WESCO evaluates the recoverability of indefinite life intangible assets
using a discounted cash flow analysis based on projected financial information. The determination
of fair value involves significant judgment and management applies its best judgment when assessing
the reasonableness of financial projections. No impairment losses were identified in 2010 as a
result of this review. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, goodwill
and trademarks totaled $1,031.4
million and $901.3 million, respectively.
36
Definite Lived Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are amortized over 5 to 19 years. A portion of intangible assets related to
customer relationships are amortized using an accelerated method whereas all other intangible
assets subject to amortization use a straight-line method which reflects the pattern in which the
economic benefits of the respective assets are consumed or otherwise used. Intangible assets are
tested for impairment if events or circumstances occur indicating that the respective asset might
be impaired.
Insurance Programs
WESCO uses commercial insurance for auto, workers compensation, casualty and health claims as
a risk-reduction strategy to minimize catastrophic losses. The Companys strategy involves large
deductibles where WESCO must pay all costs up to the deductible amount. WESCO estimates the reserve
based on historical incident rates and costs. The assumptions included in developing this accrual
include the period of time from incurrence of a claim until the claim is paid by the insurance
provider. The total liability related to the insurance programs was $11.4 million at December 31,
2010 and $10.6 million at December 31, 2009.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method in accordance with income tax
accounting guidance. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences
between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the
enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
Valuation allowances, if any, are provided when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of
a deferred tax asset may not be realized.
WESCO accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute prescribed by income tax accounting guidance. WESCO frequently reviews tax issues and
positions taken on tax returns to determine the need and amount of contingency reserves necessary
to cover any probable audit adjustments. WESCO recognizes interest related to unrecognized tax
benefits as part of interest expense. Penalties are recognized as part of income tax expense.
Convertible Debentures
WESCO separately accounts for the liability and equity components of its convertible
debentures in a manner that reflects its nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. WESCO estimates its
non-convertible debt borrowing rate through a combination of discussions with its financial
institutions and review of relevant market data. The discounts to the convertible note balances
are amortized to interest expense, using the effective interest method, over the implicit life of
the Debentures.
Foreign Currency
The local currency is the functional currency for the majority of WESCOs operations outside
the United States. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated to U.S. dollars at the
exchange rate in effect at the end of each period. Income statement accounts are translated at the
average exchange rate prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of
differing exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of other comprehensive
income within stockholders equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are
included in net income for the period.
Stock-Based Compensation
WESCO stock-based employee compensation plans are comprised of stock options, stock-settled
stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units. Compensation cost for all stock-based awards
is measured at fair value on the date of grant, and compensation cost is recognized, net of
estimated forfeitures, over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock
options and stock-settled appreciation rights is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation
model. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of WESCOs common stock. The
expected life of stock options and stock-settled appreciation rights is estimated using historical
data pertaining to option exercises and employee terminations. The risk-free rate is based on the
U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant. The forfeiture assumption is based on WESCOs
historical employee behavior that is reviewed on an annual basis. The fair value of restricted
stock units is determined by the grant-date closing price of WESCOs common stock. No dividends are
assumed for stock based awards.
WESCO granted the following stock-settled stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units
at the following weighted average assumptions:

The weighted average fair value per stock-settled appreciation right granted was $14.71,
$11.15 and $13.58 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The weighted
average fair value per restricted stock unit granted was $33.05 and $25.37 for the years ended
December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. WESCO recognized $15.8 million, $13.3 million and $12.9
million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, which is included in selling, general and
administrative expenses, in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Treasury Stock
Common stock purchased for treasury is recorded at cost. At the date of subsequent reissue,
the treasury stock account is reduced by the cost of such stock, with cost determined on a weighted
average basis.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Companys financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, a revolving line of credit, a mortgage financing
facility, notes payable, debentures and other long-term debt. The estimated fair value of the
Companys outstanding indebtedness described in Note 6 at December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $1,269.7
million and $932.6 million respectively. The aggregate fair value of the senior notes and
debentures was approximately $860.2 million. The fair values of these fixed rate facilities are
estimated based upon market price quotes. The fair values of the mortgage facility, Receivables
Facility and revolving credit facility, approximated carrying values. The fair values for these
facilities are based upon market price quotes and market comparisons available for instruments with
similar terms and maturities. For all remaining WESCO financial instruments, carrying values are
considered to approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
Environmental Expenditures
WESCO has facilities and operations that distribute certain products that must comply with
environmental regulations and laws. Expenditures for current operations are expensed or
capitalized, as appropriate. Expenditures relating to existing conditions caused by past
operations, and that do not contribute to future revenue, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded
when remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued new guidance
concerning goodwill, which amends the criteria for performing Step 2 of the goodwill impairments
test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts and requires performing Step 2 if
qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists.
This modification is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. WESCO is
currently evaluating the impact that the implementation of this new accounting guidance will have
on it financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups
with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to
WESCOs financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

4. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND SIGNIFICANT SUPPLIERS
WESCO distributes its products and services and extends credit to a large number of customers
in the industrial, construction, utility and manufactured structures markets. WESCOs largest
supplier accounted for approximately 12% of WESCOs purchases in 2010, 2009 and 2008, and
therefore, WESCO could potentially incur risk due to supplier concentration. Based upon WESCOs
broad customer base, the Company has concluded that it has no material credit risk as a result of
customer concentration.

Acquisition of TVC Communications, L.L.C.
On December 16, 2010, WESCO Distribution, Inc. (WESCO Distribution) completed its
acquisition of TVC Communications, L.L.C. (TVC Communications), an international distributor in
the Western Hemisphere of infrastructure products to the cable television and telecommunication
industries. TVC Communications offers products necessary to build out a broadband network, ranging
from the industrys widest selection of premier branded components, to a variety of proprietary and
private label products. TVC Communications also offers a full suite of value-added services,
including design, engineering, installation, repair and maintenance.
WESCO paid at closing a cash purchase price of approximately $251.0 million, net of $1.5
million of cash acquired, of which $20.0 million was held in escrow to address post-closing working
capital adjustments. WESCO funded the purchase price paid at closing with cash and borrowings
under the Receivables Facility. The purchase price was allocated to the respective assets and
liabilities based upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the
purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired, including intangible assets, has
been allocated to goodwill. The fair value of intangible assets was estimated by management and the
allocation resulted in intangible assets of $86.4 million and goodwill of $109.2 million.
Management believes the majority of goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes. The intangible
assets include technology patents of $48.3 million amortized over 10 years, customer relationships
of $20.6 million amortized over 10 years, supplier relationships of $9.7 million amortized over 15
years and trademarks of $7.8 million. Trademarks have an indefinite life and are not being
amortized. No residual value is estimated for the intangible assets.

Mortgage Financing Facility
In 2003, WESCO finalized a mortgage financing facility of $51 million, $39.2 million of which
was outstanding as of December 31, 2010. Total borrowings under the mortgage financing facility are
subject to a 22-year amortization schedule, with a balloon payment due at the end of the 10-year
term. The interest rate on borrowings under this facility is fixed at 6.5%.
Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility
During 2010, WESCO Distribution entered into amendments of its existing Receivables Facility,
pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Second and Third Amendments to Third Amended and
Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 13, 2009 (the Agreement), by and among
WESCO Receivables Corp., WESCO Distribution, the Purchasers and Purchaser Agents party thereto and
PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrator. The Second Amendment lowered the program fee
from 3.0% to 1.75%, the commitment fee from 1.0% to 0.75%, and extended the term of the Receivables
Facility to September 6, 2013. The Third Amendment increased the purchase commitment from $400
million to $450 million and added TVC Communications as an originator under the facility.
Under the Receivables Facility, WESCO sells, on a continuous basis, an undivided interest in
all domestic accounts receivable to WESCO Receivables Corp., a wholly owned special purpose entity
(the SPE). The SPE sells, without recourse, a senior undivided interest in the receivables to
third-party conduits and financial institutions for cash while maintaining a subordinated undivided
interest in the receivables, in the form of overcollateralization. WESCO has agreed to continue
servicing the sold receivables for the third-party conduits and financial institutions at market
rates; accordingly, no servicing asset or liability has been recorded.
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, accounts receivable eligible for securitization totaled
approximately $537.0 million and $439.7 million, respectively. The consolidated balance sheets as
of December 31, 2010 and 2009 reflect $370.0 million and $45.0 million, respectively, of account
receivable balances legally sold to third parties, as well as borrowings for equal amounts. At
December 31, 2010, the interest rate on borrowings under this facility was approximately 2.2%.
Revolving Credit Facility
At December 31, 2010, the aggregate borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility was
$375 million. The revolving credit facility consists of two separate sub-facilities: (i) a U.S.
sub-facility and (ii) a Canadian sub-facility and includes a letter of credit sub-limit of up to
$55 million. The facility matures on November 1, 2013 and is collateralized by the inventory of
WESCO Distribution and the inventory and accounts receivable of WESCO Distribution Canada, L.P.
WESCO Distributions obligations under the revolving credit facility have been guaranteed by WESCO
International and by certain of WESCO Distributions subsidiaries.
42
During 2010, WESCO Distribution, along with certain of its subsidiaries, entered into Limited
Consents and Amendments No. 4, 5 and 6 (the Amendments), respectively, to its Third Amended and
Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, dated November 1, 2006 (the Agreement). The Amendments
permit WESCO to complete certain legal entity restructuring actions, issue additional surety bonds,
and invest additional resources in foreign subsidiaries. In addition, the Amendments enhance
WESCOs hedging capacities and include TVC Communications and certain of its subsidiaries as
parties under the Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of Amendment No. 4, WESCO agreed to modify the Applicable Margins (as
defined in the Agreement) paid to the lenders on borrowings and letters of credit. Availability
under the facility is limited to the amount of eligible U.S. and Canadian inventory and Canadian
receivables applied against certain advance rates. Depending upon the amount of excess availability
under the facility, interest will be calculated at LIBOR plus a margin that ranges between 2.25%
and 2.875% or at the Index Rate (prime rate published by the Wall Street Journal) plus a margin
that ranges between 1.00% and 1.625%. This change represented a 1.125% to 1.25% adjustment in
borrowing margin over the previous rates. The fee for unused capacity associated with the facility
was not changed and will range between 0.25% and 0.375%. At December 31, 2010, the interest rate
on borrowings under this facility was approximately 2.8%.
As long as the average daily excess availability for both the preceding and projected
succeeding 90-day period is greater than $50 million, WESCO is permitted to make acquisitions and
repurchase outstanding public stock and bonds. The above permitted transactions also are allowed if
such excess availability is between $25 million and $50 million and WESCOs fixed charge coverage
ratio, as defined by Agreement, is at least 1.25 to 1.0 after taking into consideration the
permitted transaction. Additionally, if excess availability under the revolving credit facility is
less than $60 million, then WESCO must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1.0.
During 2010, WESCO borrowed $636.0 million in the aggregate under the revolving credit
facility and made repayments in the aggregate amount of $832.5 million. During 2009, aggregate
borrowings and repayments were $308.7 million and $309.7 million, respectively. At December 31,
2010, WESCO did not have a balance outstanding under the facility. WESCO had $276.7 million
available under the facility at December 31, 2010, after giving effect to outstanding letters of
credit, as compared to approximately $87.4 million at December 31, 2009.
7.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017
At December 31, 2010, $150 million in aggregate principal amount of the 7.50% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2017 (the 2017 Notes) was outstanding. The 2017 Notes were issued by WESCO
Distribution under an indenture dated as of September 27, 2005 with The Bank of New York, as
successor to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, and are unconditionally
guaranteed on an unsecured basis by WESCO International. The 2017 Notes accrue interest at the rate
of 7.50% per annum and are payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on each April 15 and October
15.
At any time on or after October 15, 2010, WESCO Distribution may redeem all or a part of the
2017 Notes. Between October 15, 2010 and October 14, 2011, WESCO Distribution may redeem all or a
part of the 2017 Notes at a redemption price equal to 103.75% of the principal amount. Between
October 15, 2011 and October 14, 2012, WESCO Distribution may redeem all or a part of the 2017
Notes at a redemption price equal to 102.50% of the principal amount. On and after October 15,
2013, WESCO Distribution may redeem all or a part of the 2017 Notes at a redemption price equal to
100% of the principal amount.
If WESCO Distribution undergoes a change of control prior to maturity, holders of 2017 Notes
will have the right, at their option, to require WESCO Distribution to repurchase for cash some or
all of their 2017 Notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 2017
Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the repurchase
date.
2.625% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2025
Proceeds of $150 million were received in connection with the issuance of the 2.625%
Convertible Senior Debentures due 2025 (the "2025 Debentures) by WESCO International under an
indenture dated as of September 27, 2005 with The Bank of New York, as successor to J.P. Morgan
Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee, and were unconditionally guaranteed on an
unsecured senior subordinated basis by WESCO Distribution. On August 27, 2009, WESCO International
completed an exchange offer pursuant to which it issued $345.0 million in aggregate principal
amount of 6.0% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2029 (the 2029 Debentures) in exchange for
approximately $299.7 million and $57.7 million in aggregate principal amounts of its outstanding
1.75% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2026 (the 2026 Debentures) and 2025 Debentures,
respectively (see the discussion below under 6.0% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2029 for
additional information). On November 19, 2010, WESCO International announced that it would redeem
all of its outstanding 2025 Debentures. In connection with the redemption, holders of $89.8
million aggregate principal amount of 2025 Debentures converted their debentures. In settlement of
those conversions, WESCO paid an aggregate of approximately $89.8 million in cash, including cash
in lieu of fractional shares, and issued 340,213 shares of its common stock. WESCO redeemed the
remaining $2.5 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2025 Debentures at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. As of December 31,
2010, there were no 2025 Debentures outstanding.
43
On January 1, 2009, WESCO retrospectively applied the provisions of guidance concerning
convertible debt instruments to the 2025 Debentures. WESCO utilized an interest rate of 6% to
reflect the non convertible market rate of its offering upon issuance. WESCO amortized the debt
discount over a five year period starting on the date of issuance. Non-cash interest expense of
$2.1 million, $4.0 million and $4.3 million was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2010,
2009 and 2008, respectively.
1.75% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2026
Proceeds of $300 million were received in connection with the issuance of the 2026 Debentures
by WESCO International under an indenture dated as of November 2, 2006 with The Bank of New York,
as Trustee, and are unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by WESCO
Distribution. On August 27, 2009, WESCO International completed an exchange offer pursuant to which
it issued $345.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2029 Debentures in exchange for
approximately $299.7 million and $57.7 million in aggregate principal amounts of its outstanding
2026 Debentures and 2025 Debentures, respectively (see the 6.0% Convertible Senior Debentures due
2029 discussion below for additional information). WESCO intends to redeem the remaining $0.2
million of the outstanding 2026 Debentures during 2011.
On January 1, 2009, WESCO retrospectively applied the provisions of guidance concerning
convertible debt instruments to the 2026 Debentures. WESCO utilized an interest rate of 6% to
reflect the non convertible market rate of its offering upon issuance. WESCO is amortizing the
debt discount over a five year period starting on the date of issuance. Non-cash interest expense
of less than $0.1 million, $7.1 million and $10.2 million was recorded for the years ended December
31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The debt discount amortization will be less than $0.1
million in 2011.
6.0% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2029
On August 27, 2009, WESCO International completed an exchange offer pursuant to which it
issued $345.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2029 Debentures in exchange for
approximately $299.7 million and $57.7 million in aggregate principal amounts of its outstanding
2026 Debentures and 2025 Debentures, respectively. As a result of the debt exchange, WESCO recorded
a gain of $6.0 million, which included the write-off of debt issuance costs. The 2029 Debentures
were issued pursuant to an Indenture dated August 27, 2009 (the Indenture), with The Bank of New
York Mellon, as trustee, and are unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinate
basis by WESCO Distribution.
WESCO utilized an interest rate of 13.875% to reflect the non-convertible debt borrowing rate
of its offering upon issuance, which was determined based on discussions with its financial
institutions and a review of relevant market data, and resulted in a $181.2 million discount to the
2029 Debenture balance and a net increase in additional capital of $106.5 million. In addition, the
financing costs related to the issuance of the 2029 Debentures were allocated between the debt and
equity components. WESCO is amortizing the debt discount and financing costs over the life of the
instrument. Non-cash interest expense of $2.1 million was recorded for the year ended December 31,
2010 and $0.7 million was recorded for the period from August 27, 2009 to December 31, 2009. The
debt discount amortization will approximate $2.4 million in 2011, $2.7 million in 2012, $3.1
million in 2013, $3.6 million in 2014, and $4.1 million in 2015.
While the 2029 Debentures accrue interest at an effective interest rate of 13.875% (as
described above), the coupon interest rate of 6.0% per annum is payable in cash semi-annually in
arrears on each March 15 and September 15, commencing March 15, 2010. Beginning with the six-month
period commencing September 15, 2016, WESCO will also pay contingent interest in cash during any
six-month period in which the trading price of the 2029 Debentures for each of the five trading
days ending on the second trading day immediately preceding the first day of the applicable
six-month interest period equals or exceeds 120% of the principal amount of the 2026 Debentures.
During any interest period when contingent interest shall be payable, the contingent interest
payable per $1,000 principal amount of 2029 Debentures will equal 0.25% of the average trading
price of $1,000 principal amount of the 2029 Debentures during the five trading days immediately
preceding the first day of the applicable six-month interest period. In accordance with guidance
related to derivatives and hedging, the contingent interest feature of the 2029 Debentures is an
embedded derivative that is not considered clearly and closely related to the host contract. The
contingent interest component had no significant value at issuance or December 31, 2010.
The 2029 Debentures are convertible into cash, and in certain circumstances, shares of WESCO
Internationals common stock, $0.01 par value, at any time on or after September 15, 2028, or prior
to September 15, 2028 in certain circumstances. The 2029 Debentures will be convertible based on an
initial conversion rate of 34.6433 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2029
Debentures (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $28.87 per share). The
conversion rate and conversion price may be adjusted under certain circumstances.
At any time on or after September 15, 2016, the Company may redeem all or a part of the 2029
Debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest (including contingent interest and additional interest,
if any) to, but not including, the redemption date. If WESCO International undergoes certain
fundamental changes, as defined in the Indenture, prior to maturity, holders of the 2029 Debentures
will have the right, at their option, to require WESCO International to repurchase for cash some or
all of their 2029 Debentures at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the
2029 Debentures being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest
44
(including contingent interest and additional interest, if any) to, but not including, the
repurchase date.

WESCOs credit agreements contain various restrictive covenants that, among other things,
impose limitations on (i) dividend payments or certain other restricted payments or investments;
(ii) the incurrence of additional indebtedness and guarantees or issuance of additional stock;
(iii) creation of liens; (iv) mergers, consolidation or sales of substantially all of WESCOs
assets; (v) certain transactions among affiliates; (vi) payments by certain subsidiaries to WESCO;
and (vii) capital expenditures. In addition, the revolving credit agreement requires WESCO to meet
certain fixed charge coverage tests depending on availability.
8. CAPITAL STOCK
Preferred Stock
There are 20 million shares of preferred stock authorized at a par value of $.01 per share.
The Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue all
authorized preferred shares in one or more series and to fix the number of shares, designations,
voting powers, preferences, optional and other special rights and the restrictions or
qualifications thereof. The rights, preferences, privileges and powers of each series of preferred
stock may differ with respect to dividend rates, liquidation values, voting rights, conversion
rights, redemption provisions and other matters.
Common Stock
There are 210 million shares of common stock and 20 million shares of Class B common stock
authorized at a par value of $.01 per share. The Class B common stock is identical to the common
stock, except for voting and conversion rights. The holders of Class B common stock have no voting
rights. With certain exceptions, Class B common stock may be converted, at the option of the
holder, into the same number of shares of common stock.

Under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, WESCO International is restricted from
declaring or paying dividends and as such, at December 31, 2010 and 2009, no dividends had been declared, and therefore no retained
earnings were reserved for dividend payments.
Additional Capital
WESCO separately accounts for the liability and equity components of its Debentures in a
manner that reflects its non-convertible debt borrowing rate. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009,
the net equity included in additional capital related to the Debentures totaled $106.5 million and
$134.8 million, respectively.
9. EQUITY INVESTMENT
During the first quarter of 2008, WESCO and Deutsch Engineered Connecting Devices, Inc.
(Deutsch) completed a transaction with respect to WESCOs LADD operations, which resulted in a
joint venture in which Deutsch owned a 60% interest and WESCO owned a 40% interest. WESCO
accounted for its investment in the joint venture using the equity method of accounting.
Accordingly, earnings from the joint venture were recorded as other income in the consolidated
statement of income. Deutsch was entitled, but not obliged, to acquire the remaining 40% after
January 1, 2010. Deutsch paid to WESCO aggregate consideration of approximately $75.0 million,
consisting of $60.0 million in cash plus a $15.0 million promissory note for its 60% interest in
the joint venture.
On January 15, 2010, WESCO received $1.8 million in accrued interest related to the promissory
note for the period from January 2, 2008 to January 2, 2010. In addition, Deutsch and WESCO
entered into an amended promissory note agreement. The amendment extended the maturity date for
the payment of principal and interest to the earlier of (a) the closing date of Deutschs option to
acquire the remaining 40% joint venture interest or (b) the maturity date of Deutschs credit
facility or mezzanine financing facility. Interest accrued at a rate of 8.5% compounded annually.
Management believed this rate was commensurate with a market rate of interest; therefore, no
reserve or allowance was recorded against the promissory note.
On April 30, 2010, Deutsch notified WESCO it would exercise its option to purchase the
remaining 40% of the LADD joint venture. The option price for Deutsch to acquire the remaining 40%
of the joint venture was determined based upon a multiple of trailing earnings, with a minimum
purchase price of $40.0 million and maximum purchase price of $50.0 million. The investment in the
LADD joint venture at March 31, 2010 was $43.4 million, and the estimated option exercise price was
$40.0 million. As a result, WESCO recorded a pre-tax impairment loss of $3.4 million to selling,
general and administrative expenses during the first quarter of 2010. On June 7, 2010, WESCO
completed the sale of its 40% interest in the LADD joint venture and recorded an additional
impairment charge of $0.4 million to selling, general and administrative expenses. WESCO received
$40.0 million for its 40% interest plus $15.0 million for the outstanding promissory note and $0.5
million for accrued interest.

Includes a tax benefit of $16.6 million, $17.7 million and $20.1 million in 2010,
2009 and 2008 respectively from the recapitalization of WESCOs Canadian operations, in
2010 an adjustment related to prior years foreign taxes and in 2008 the effect of
differences between the recorded provision and the final filed tax return for the prior year. |
As of December 31, 2010, WESCO had approximately $177 million of undistributed earnings
related to its foreign subsidiaries. Management believes that these earnings will be indefinitely
reinvested in foreign jurisdiction; accordingly, WESCO has not provided for U.S. federal income
taxes related to these earnings.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, WESCO had state tax benefits derived from net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $6.9 million ($4.5 million, net of federal income tax) and $6.5
million ($4.2 million, net of federal income tax), respectively. In addition, WESCO had tax
benefits from net operating losses resulting from the recapitalization of its Canadian operations
of $27.1 million and $30.5 million, respectively. The amounts will begin expiring in 2011 and 2027,
respectively. WESCO recently reorganized its Canadian operations to increase the likelihood of full
utilization of tax benefits derived from Canadian net operating losses. Utilization of WESCOs
state net operating loss carryforwards is subject to annual limitations imposed by state statute.
Such annual limitations could result in the expiration of the net operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards before utilization. Management anticipates utilizing the net operating losses prior
to the expiration of statutes of limitations; accordingly, WESCO has not recorded a valuation
allowance.
WESCO analyzes its filing positions for all open tax years in all jurisdictions. The Company
is currently under examination in several tax jurisdictions, both within the United States and
outside the United States, and remains subject to examination until the statute of limitations
expires for the respective tax jurisdictions. The following summary sets forth the tax years that
remain open in the Companys major tax jurisdictions:

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits were $3.4 million, $8.1 million and $7.5 million
as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. If these tax benefits were recognized in the
consolidated financial statements, the portion of these amounts that would reduce the Companys
effective tax rate would be $1.9 million, $7.1 million, and $6.3 million respectively.
During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax
benefits will change by as much as $1.7 million due to certain issues being settled by the
resolution of federal, state and/or foreign tax examinations and/or the expiration of statutes of
limitations.
WESCO records interest related to uncertain tax positions as a part of interest expense in the
consolidated statement of income. Any penalties are recognized as part of income tax expense. The
total amount of penalties recorded to income tax expense was $0.1 million, $0.1 million and $0.5
million for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, WESCO had an
accrued liability of $9.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively, for interest related to uncertain
tax positions.

11. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common
shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the
periods. The dilutive effect of common share equivalents is considered in the diluted earnings per
share computation using the treasury stock method, which includes consideration of stock-based
compensation.

As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the computation of diluted earnings per share excluded
stock-settled stock appreciation rights of approximately 2.4 million, 3.6 million and 2.0 million
at weighted average exercise prices of $46.73 per share, $39.65 per share and $52.30 per share,
respectively. These amounts were excluded because their effect would have been antidilutive.
Because of WESCOs obligation to settle the par value of the 2029 Debentures and the 2026
Debentures (the Debentures) in cash, WESCO is not required to include any shares underlying the
Debentures in its diluted weighted average shares outstanding until the average stock price per
share for the period exceeds the conversion price of the respective Debentures. At such time, only
the number of shares that would be issuable (under the treasury stock method of accounting for
share dilution) will be included, which is based upon the amount by which the average stock price
exceeds the conversion price. The conversion prices of the 2029 Debentures and 2026 Debentures are
$28.87 and $88.15, respectively. Share dilution is limited to a maximum of 11,951,939 shares for
the 2029 Debentures and 2,972 shares for the 2026 Debentures. Share dilution for the 2026
Debentures reflects the impact of the convertible debt exchange. For the period ended December 31,
2010, the effect of the 2029 debentures on diluted earnings per share was a decrease of $0.16.
There was no impact of the Debentures on diluted earnings per share for the years ended December
31, 2009 and 2008.
12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
A majority of WESCOs employees are covered by defined contribution retirement savings plans
for their service rendered subsequent to WESCOs formation. WESCO also offers a deferred
compensation plan for select individuals. For U.S. participants, WESCO will make contributions in
an amount equal to 50% of the participants total monthly contributions up to a maximum of 6% of
eligible compensation. For Canadian participants, WESCO will make contributions in an amount
ranging from 1% to 7% of the participants eligible compensation based on years of continuous
service. In addition, employer contributions may be made at the discretion of the Board of
Directors. Discretionary employer contributions charges of $14.2 million and $9.5 million were
incurred in 2010 and 2008, respectively. All discretionary contributions were suspended during
2009 due to cost reductions actions; accordingly, no discretionary charges were incurred. For the
years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, WESCO incurred charges of $25.3 million, $8.3 million
and $14.6 million, respectively, for all such plans. Contributions are made in cash to employee
retirement savings plan accounts. Employees then have the option to transfer balances allocated to
their accounts into any of the available investment options, including WESCO common stock.
49
13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
WESCO has sponsored four stock option plans: the 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP), the
1998 Stock Option Plan, the Stock Option Plan for Branch Employees and the 1994 Stock Option Plan.
The LTIP was designed to be the successor plan to all prior plans. Any shares remaining reserved
for future issuance under the prior plans are available for issuance under the LTIP. The LTIP and
predecessor plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.
An initial reserve of 6,936,000 shares of common stock has been authorized for issuance under
the LTIP. This reserve automatically increases by (i) the number of shares of common stock covered
by unexercised options granted under prior plans that are canceled or terminated after the
effective date of the LTIP, and (ii) the number of shares of common stock surrendered by employees
to pay the exercise price and/or minimum withholding taxes in connection with the exercise of stock
options granted under our prior plans. As of December 31, 2010, 3.2 million shares of common stock
were reserved under the LTIP for future equity award grants. In December 2003, in a privately
negotiated transaction, WESCO redeemed the net equity value of stock options originally granted in
1994 and 1995, representing approximately 2.9 million shares. These shares are included in the
reserve of common stock available for issuance under the LTIP.
Awards granted vest and become exercisable once criteria based on time or financial
performance are achieved. If the financial performance criteria are not met, all the awards will
vest after nine years and nine months. All awards vest immediately in the event of a change in
control. Each award terminates on the tenth anniversary of its grant date unless terminated sooner
under certain conditions.
As of December 31, 2010, there was $19.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense
related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements for all awards previously made of which
approximately $11.4 million is expected to be recognized in 2011, $5.8 million in 2012 and $1.9
million in 2013.
The total intrinsic value of awards exercised during the years ended December 31, 2010 and
2009 was $9.9 million and $3.6 million, respectively. The total amount of cash received from the
exercise of options was $1.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The tax benefit associated
with the exercise of stock options and stock-settled stock appreciation rights totaled $3.1 million
and $0.9 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively. WESCO uses the direct only method and tax law
ordering approach to calculate the tax effects of stock-based compensation. The tax benefit was
recorded as a credit to additional paid-in capital.
The following table sets forth a summary of both stock options and stock appreciation rights
and related information for the years indicated:

From time to time, a number of lawsuits and claims have been or may be asserted against WESCO
relating to the conduct of its business, including routine litigation relating to commercial and
employment matters. The outcomes of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some
lawsuits may be determined adversely to WESCO. However, management does not believe that the
ultimate outcome is likely to have a material adverse effect on WESCOs financial condition or
liquidity, although the resolution in any fiscal quarter of one or more of these matters may have a
material adverse effect on WESCOs results of operations for that period.
WESCO is a co-defendant in a lawsuit filed in a state court in Indiana in which a customer
alleges that WESCO sold defective products manufactured or remanufactured by others and is seeking
monetary damages in the amount of $52 million. WESCO has denied any liability, continues to
believe that it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend itself against these
allegations. Accordingly, no liability was recorded for this matter as of December 31, 2010.
15. SEGMENTS AND RELATED INFORMATION
WESCO provides distribution of product and services through its twelve operating segments
which have been aggregated as one reportable segment. The sale of electrical products and

(A) |
|
Earnings per share (EPS) in each quarter is computed using the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the quarter while EPS for the full year is computed by taking
the average of the weighted average number of shares outstanding each quarter. Thus,
the sum of the four quarters EPS may not equal the full-year EPS. |
|
(B) |
|
Diluted earnings per share (DEPS) in each quarter is computed using the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during that quarter while DEPS for the full year
is computed by taking the average of the weighted average number of shares
outstanding each quarter. Thus, the sum of the four quarters DEPS may not equal the full-year
DEPS. |

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure
controls and procedures as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange
Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period
covered by this report.
Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Because of its inherent
limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Under the supervision and with the participation
of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based
on the framework in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal
Control Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial
reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010. Management has excluded TVC Communications, LLC
from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 because it
was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination during December 2010. TVC
Communication, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary whose total assets and total revenues represent
$295.5 million and $6.9 million, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement
amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010.
The effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December
31, 2010 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public
accounting firm, as stated in their report, which is included herein.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the last fiscal quarter of 2010, there were no changes in the Companys internal
control over financial reporting identified in connection with managements evaluation of the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over
financial reporting.
