The Global Components business (~70% of revenue) delivered 39% sales growth with adjusted operating income jumping 111% to $365M, while Enterprise Computing Solutions (~30%) posted 39% revenue growth but slower 34% operating income expansion. Despite the broad-based recovery and strong performance across all metrics, the components business firing on all cylinders contrasts with ECS facing near-term headwinds. ARW introduced Q2 revenue guidance of $9.15B-$9.75B and adjusted EPS of $4.32-$4.52, both ahead of consensus forecasts of $8.84B and $3.64, respectively.
