PR Newswire (US)
SANTA ANA, Calif., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ingram Micro
Inc. (NYSE:IM), the world's largest technology distributor,
announced today that William D. Humes, the company's executive vice
president and chief financial officer, will present at the
following investor conferences in September. -- Wednesday, Sept. 3,
2008 Citigroup's 15th Annual Global Technology Conference Hilton
New York Hotel - New York, N.Y. 9:15 a.m. ET -- Tuesday, Sept. 16,
2008 Bank of America Annual Investment Conference Ritz Carlton
Hotel - San Francisco, Calif. 4 p.m. PT / 7 p.m. ET While the
company did not update its third-quarter guidance delivered on July
24, 2008, Gregory M. Spierkel, Ingram Micro's chief executive
officer, said that softer economies in Europe and certain Asian
countries created more competitive environments during July and
August. He added that the markets within North America and Latin
America have remained relatively stable during this period.
"September is the strongest month of the third quarter, especially
in Europe, where businesses return from the summer season,"
Spierkel explained. "As this year's economic environment is less
predictable than prior years, we believe it's prudent to update our
third-quarter outlook after we have a clearer picture of
September's anticipated results." To access the live audio webcasts

available for approximately one week following the events.
Cautionary Statement for the Purpose of the Safe Harbor Provisions
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 The matters
in this press release that are forward-looking statements,
including but not limited to statements about future revenues,
sales levels, operating income, margins, stock-based compensation
expense, integration costs, cost synergies, operating efficiencies,
profitability, market share and rates of return, are based on
current management expectations that involve certain risks which,
if realized, in whole or in part, could cause such expectations to
fail to be achieved and have a material adverse effect on Ingram
Micro's business, financial condition and results of operations,
including, without limitation: (1) intense competition, regionally
and internationally, including competition from alternative
business models, such as manufacturer-to-end-user selling, which
may lead to reduced prices, lower sales or reduced sales growth,
lower gross margins, extended payment terms with customers,
increased capital investment and interest costs, bad debt risks and
product supply shortages; (2) integration of our acquired
businesses and similar transactions involve various risks and
difficulties -- our operations may be adversely impacted by an
acquisition that (i) is not suited for us, (ii) is improperly
executed, or (iii) substantially increases our debt; (3) foreign
exchange rate fluctuations, devaluation of a foreign currency,
adverse governmental controls or actions, political or economic
instability, or disruption of a foreign market, and other related
risks of our international operations may adversely impact our
operations in that country or globally; (4) we may not achieve the
objectives of our process improvement efforts or be able to
adequately adjust our cost structure in a timely fashion to remain
competitive, which may cause our profitability to suffer; (5) our
failure to attract new sources of profitable business from
expansion of products or services or risks associated with entry
into new markets, including geographies, products and services,
could negatively impact our future operating results; (6) an
interruption or failure of or disruptions due to changes to our
information systems or subversion of access or other system
controls may result in a significant loss of business, assets, or
competitive information and may adversely impact our results of
operations; (7) if there is a downturn in economic conditions for
an extended period of time, it will likely have an adverse impact
on our business; (8) significant changes in supplier terms, such as
higher thresholds on sales volume before distributors may qualify
for discounts and/or rebates, the overall reduction in the amount
of incentives available, reduction or termination of price
protection, return levels, or other inventory management programs,
or reductions in payment terms, may adversely impact our results of
operations or financial condition; (9) termination of a supply or
services agreement with a major supplier or product supply
shortages may adversely impact our results of operations; (10)
changes in, or interpretations of, tax rules and regulations may
adversely affect our effective tax rates or we may be required to
pay additional tax assessments; (11) we cannot predict with
certainty, the outcome of the SEC and U.S. Attorney's inquiries or
assessments by Brazilian taxing authorities; (12) we may experience
loss of business from one or more significant customers, and an
increased risk of credit loss as a result of reseller customers'
businesses being negatively impacted by dramatic changes in the
information technology products and services industry as well as
intense competition among resellers -- increased losses, if any,
may not be covered by credit insurance or we may not be able to
obtain credit insurance at reasonable rates or at all; (13) rapid
product improvement and technological change resulting in inventory
obsolescence or changes in demand may result in a decline in value
of a portion of our inventory; (14) future terrorist or military
actions could result in disruption to our operations or loss of
assets, in certain markets or globally; (15) the loss of a key
executive officer or other key employees, or changes affecting the
work force such as government regulations, collective bargaining
agreements or the limited availability of qualified personnel,
could disrupt operations or increase our cost structure; (16)
changes in our credit rating or other market factors may increase
our interest expense or other costs of capital, or capital may not
be available to us on acceptable terms to fund our working capital
needs; (17) our failure to adequately adapt to industry changes and
to manage potential growth and/or contractions could negatively
impact our future operating results; (18) future periodic
assessments required by current or new accounting standards such as
those relating to long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible
assets and expensing of stock options may result in additional
non-cash charges; (19) seasonal variations in the demand for
products and services, as well as the introduction of new products,
may cause variations in our quarterly results; and (20) the failure
of certain shipping companies to deliver product to us, or from us
to our customers, may adversely impact our results of operations.
Ingram Micro has instituted in the past and continues to institute
changes to its strategies, operations and processes to address
these risk factors and to mitigate their impact on Ingram Micro's
results of operations and financial condition. However, no
assurances can be given that Ingram Micro will be successful in
these efforts. For a further discussion of significant factors to
