NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)



1. ORGANIZATION
WESCO International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “WESCO” or the "Company"), 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. WESCO serves over 75,000 active customers globally, through approximately 485 full service branches and nine distribution centers located primarily in the United States, Canada and Mexico, with operations in 16 additional countries.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of WESCO have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in WESCO’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on February 24, 2015. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2014 was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of that date, but does not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2015, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, in the opinion of management, have been prepared on the same basis as the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and include all adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented herein. All adjustments reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information are of a normal recurring nature unless indicated. The results for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2014 and the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 include certain reclassifications to previously reported amounts to conform to the current period presentation.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value and requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs include inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of assets or liabilities.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
At June 30, 2015, the carrying value of WESCO’s 6.0% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2029 (the "2029 Debentures") was $179.5 million and the fair value was approximately $839.4 million. At December 31, 2014, the carrying value of WESCO’s 2029 Debentures was $177.6 million and the fair value was approximately $936.1 million. The reported carrying

6

   
WESCO INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)
(unaudited)


amounts of WESCO’s other debt instruments approximate their fair values. The Company uses a market approach to fair value all of its debt instruments, utilizing quoted prices in active markets, interest rates and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving similar instruments. Therefore, all of the Company's debt instruments are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. For all of the Company's remaining financial instruments, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, carrying values are considered to approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board issued a converged final standard on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. This updated guidance provides a framework for addressing revenue recognition issues and replaces almost all existing revenue recognition guidance in current U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The core principle of the new standard is for companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively, and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements. The original standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016; however, in July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of this standard. Accordingly, the standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted to the original effective date of December 15, 2016 (including interim reporting periods within those periods). Management is currently evaluating the future impact of this guidance on WESCO's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The amendments in this ASU require a reporting entity to treat a performance target that affects vesting and could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply FASB ASC Topic 718, CompensationStock Compensation, to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting. For all entities, ASU 2014-12 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU may be adopted either prospectively for share-based payment awards granted or modified on or after the effective date, or retrospectively, using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach would apply to share-based payment awards outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements on adoption and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an impact on WESCO's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
In September 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This ASU describes how an entity should assess its ability to meet obligations and sets disclosure requirements for how this information should be disclosed in the financial statements. The standard provides accounting guidance that will be used with existing auditing standards. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an impact on WESCO's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. To simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs, the amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. For public business entities, this ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. An entity should apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. Upon transition, an entity is required to comply with the applicable disclosures for a change in an accounting principle. These disclosures include the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle, the transition method, a description of the prior-period information that has been retrospectively adjusted, and the effect of the change on the financial statement line items (that is, debt issuance cost asset and the debt liability). Management is currently evaluating the future impact of this guidance on WESCO's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the six months ended June 30, 2015, which were primarily for the acquisition of Hill Country Electric Supply, LP ("Hill Country"), were based upon preliminary calculations and valuations. WESCO's estimates and assumptions for its preliminary purchase price allocation are subject to change as it obtains additional information for its estimates during the respective measurement periods (up to one year from the respective acquisition date).
2015 Acquisition of Hill Country Electric Supply, LP
On May 1, 2015, WESCO Distribution, Inc. completed the acquisition of Hill Country, an electrical distributor focused on the commercial construction market from nine locations in Central and South Texas with approximately $140 million in annual sales. WESCO funded the purchase price paid at closing with borrowings under the revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The purchase price was allocated to the respective assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The preliminary fair value of intangibles was estimated by management and the allocation resulted in intangible assets of $21.1 million and goodwill of $15.8 million. The intangible assets include customer relationships of $13.1 million amortized over 11 years, non-compete agreements of $0.2 million amortized over 5 years, and trademarks of $7.8 million amortized over 12 years. No residual value is estimated for the intangible assets being amortized. Management believes that the majority of goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
2014 Acquisitions of LaPrairie, Inc., Hazmasters, Inc. and Hi-Line Utility Supply.
On February 1, 2014, WESCO Distribution, Inc., through its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, completed the acquisition of LaPrairie, Inc. ("LaPrairie"), a wholesale distributor of electrical products with approximately $30 million in annual sales servicing the transmission, distribution, and substation needs of utilities and utility contractors from a single location in Newmarket, Ontario. WESCO funded the purchase price paid at closing with cash. The purchase price was allocated to the respective assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair value of intangibles was estimated by management and the allocation resulted in intangible assets of $11.0 million and goodwill of $8.9 million. The majority of goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
On March 17, 2014, WESCO Distribution, Inc., through its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, completed the acquisition of Hazmasters, Inc. ("Hazmasters"), a leading independent Canadian distributor of safety products with approximately $80 million in annual sales servicing customers in the industrial, construction, commercial, institution, and government markets from 14 branches across Canada. WESCO funded the purchase price paid at closing with cash and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. The purchase price was allocated to the respective assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair value of intangibles was estimated by management and the allocation resulted in intangible assets of $28.1 million and goodwill of $29.5 million, which is not deductible for tax purposes.
On June 11, 2014, WESCO Distribution, Inc., completed the acquisition of Hi-Line Utility Supply ("Hi-Line"), a provider of utility MRO and safety products, as well as rubber goods testing and certification services, with approximately $30 million in annual sales from locations in Chicago, Illinois and Millbury, Massachusetts. WESCO funded the purchase price paid at closing with cash. The purchase price was allocated to the respective assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair value of intangibles was estimated by management and the allocation resulted in intangible assets of $14.2 million and goodwill of $24.0 million. The majority of goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
For all acquisitions made in the first half of 2014, the intangible assets include customer relationships of $38.9 million amortized over 2 to 12 years, supplier relationships of $3.2 million amortized over 10 years, trademarks of $10.9 million, and other intangibles of $0.3 million. Certain trademarks have been assigned an indefinite life while others are amortized over 5 and 10 years. No residual value is estimated for the intangible assets being amortized.

4. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
WESCO’s stock-based employee compensation plans are comprised of stock-settled stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and performance-based awards. 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-settled stock appreciation rights and performance-based awards with market conditions is determined using the Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo simulation models, respectively. The fair value of restricted stock units and performance-based awards with performance conditions is determined by the grant-date closing price of WESCO’s common stock. The forfeiture assumption is based on WESCO’s historical employee behavior that is reviewed on an annual basis. No dividends are assumed.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, WESCO granted the following stock-settled appreciation rights, restricted stock units and performance-based awards at the following weighted-average fair values:

The unvested performance-based awards in the table above include 69,998 shares in which vesting of the ultimate number of shares underlying such awards is dependent upon WESCO's total stockholder return in relation to the total stockholder return of a select group of peer companies over a three-year period. These awards are accounted for as awards with market conditions; compensation cost is recognized over the service period, regardless of whether the market conditions are achieved and the awards ultimately vest.
Vesting of the remaining 69,998 shares of performance-based awards in the table above is dependent upon the three-year average growth rate of WESCO's net income. These awards are accounted for as awards with performance conditions; compensation cost is recognized over the performance period based upon WESCO's determination of whether it is probable that the performance targets will be achieved.
WESCO recognized $4.0 million and $4.3 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. WESCO recognized $7.8 million and $8.5 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of June 30, 2015, there was $25.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements for all awards previously made, of which approximately $7.6 million is expected to be recognized over the remainder of 2015, $11.4 million in 2016, $6.1 million in 2017 and $0.7 million in 2018.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the total intrinsic value of all awards exercised and vested was $15.3 million and $22.9 million, respectively. The total amount of cash received from the exercise of options was $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The gross deferred tax benefit associated with the exercise of awards for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 totaled $5.5 million and $8.7 million, respectively, and was recorded as an increase to additional capital.
5. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of 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 dilutive equity awards and contingently convertible debt.
The following tables set forth the details of basic and diluted earnings per share:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the computation of diluted earnings per share attributable to WESCO International, Inc. excluded approximately 0.9 million stock-settled stock appreciation rights at a weighted-average exercise price of $74.93 per share. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the computation of diluted earnings per share attributable to WESCO International, Inc. excluded approximately 0.5 million stock-settled stock appreciation rights at weighted average exercise prices of $84.71 per share and $79.37 per share, respectively. These amounts were excluded because their effect would have been antidilutive.

Because of WESCO’s obligation to settle the par value of the 2029 Debentures in cash upon conversion, WESCO is required to include shares underlying the 2029 Debentures in its diluted weighted-average shares outstanding when the average stock price per share for the period exceeds the conversion price of the respective debentures. Only the number of shares issuable under the treasury stock method of accounting for share dilution are included, which is based upon the amount by which the average stock price exceeds the conversion price. The conversion price of the 2029 Debentures is $28.87. Share dilution is limited to a maximum of 11,947,671 shares for the 2029 Debentures. For the three and six months June 30, 2015, the effect of the 2029 Debentures on diluted earnings per share attributable to WESCO International, Inc. was a decrease of $0.16 and $0.30, respectively. For the three and six months June 30, 2014, the effect of the 2029 Debentures on diluted earnings per share attributable to WESCO International, Inc. was a decrease of $0.22 and $0.40, respectively.
In December 2014, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $300 million of the Company's common stock through December 31, 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company entered into accelerated stock repurchase agreements (the "ASR Transactions") with certain financial institutions to purchase shares of its common stock. In exchange for up-front cash payments totaling $75.0 million, the Company received 1,050,927 shares. The total number of shares ultimately delivered under the ASR Transactions was determined by the average of the volume-weighted average prices of the Company's common stock for each exchange business day during the respective settlement valuation periods. WESCO funded the repurchases with borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. For purposes of computing earnings per share, shares received under the ASR Transactions were reflected as a reduction to common shares outstanding on the respective delivery dates.
6. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
A majority of WESCO’s employees are covered by defined contribution retirement savings plans for their services rendered subsequent to WESCO’s 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 participant’s total monthly contributions up to a maximum of 6% of eligible compensation. For Canadian participants, WESCO will make contributions in an amount ranging from 3% to 5% of the participant’s eligible compensation based on years of continuous service. In addition, for U.S. participants, employer contributions may be made at the discretion of the Board of Directors. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, WESCO incurred charges of $14.3 million and $15.0 million, respectively, for all such plans. Contributions are made in cash to defined contribution retirement savings plans. The deferred compensation plan is an unfunded plan. Employees have the option to transfer balances allocated to their accounts in the defined contribution retirement savings plan and the deferred compensation plan into any of the available investment options. An investment option for employees in the defined contribution retirement savings plan is WESCO common stock.
In connection with the December 14, 2012 acquisition of EECOL, the Company assumed a contributory defined benefit plan covering substantially all Canadian employees of EECOL and a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for certain executives of EECOL. The following table reflects the components of net periodic benefit costs for the Company's defined benefit plans:

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As initially reported in its 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, WESCO was a defendant in a lawsuit filed in a state court in Indiana in which a customer, ArcelorMittal Indiana Harbor, Inc. (“AIH”), alleged that the Company sold defective products to AIH in 2004 that were supplied to the Company by others. The lawsuit sought monetary damages in the amount of approximately $50 million. On February 14, 2013, the jury returned a verdict in favor of AIH and awarded damages in the amount of approximately $36.1 million, and judgment was entered on the jury's verdict. As a result, the Company recorded a $36.1 million charge to selling, general and administrative expenses in 2012. The Company received letters from its insurers confirming insurance coverage of the matter and recorded a receivable in the quarter ended March 31, 2013 in an amount equal to the previously recorded liability. The Company disputed this outcome and filed a post-trial motion challenging the verdict, alleging various errors that occurred during trial. AIH also filed a post-trial motion asking the court to award additional amounts to AIH, including prejudgment and post-judgment interest. The Court denied the Company's post-trial motion on June 28, 2013 and granted in part AIH's motion, awarding prejudgment interest in the amount of $3.9 million and ordering post-judgment interest to accrue on the entire judgment at 8% per annum. In the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company received letters from its insurers confirming insurance coverage of all prejudgment and post-judgment interest related to the matter. Final judgment was entered by the court on July 16, 2013, and the Company appealed the judgment. On November 10, 2014, the Indiana Court of Appeals reversed the prejudgment interest award, but otherwise affirmed the underlying judgment. A petition for further review of the case was filed with the Indiana Supreme Court.
On April 15, 2015, the Company, AIH and the parties’ respective insurance carriers agreed to settle the case. As part of the settlement, the Company's insurers paid $35.8 million to AIH on April 30, 2015 in full and final satisfaction of the judgment, including any prejudgment and post-judgment interest, and AIH agreed to release all claims against the Company and its insurers. The parties also agreed to a dismissal of the pending appeal to the Indiana Supreme Court. To account for the settlement, the Company reversed the previously recorded liability and corresponding receivable of $36.1 million, plus $10.2 million of interest that had accrued in connection with this matter. Accordingly, the settlement of this matter had no net effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
WESCO is subject to the laws and regulations of states and other jurisdictions concerning the identification, reporting and escheatment (the transfer of property to the state) of unclaimed or abandoned funds, and is subject to audit and examination for compliance with these requirements. WESCO Distribution, Inc. is currently undergoing a compliance audit in the State of Delaware concerning the identification, reporting and escheatment of unclaimed or abandoned property. A third party auditor is conducting the audit on behalf of the State, and the Company has been working with an outside consultant during the audit process and in discussions with the auditors. The Company is defending the audit, the outcome of which cannot be predicted with certainty at this time. After the third party auditor completes its field work, it is expected to issue preliminary findings for review by the Company and the State, and thereafter the auditor is expected to issue a final report of examination. If the Company and State do not reach resolution after further discussion, the State issues a demand for payment, which the Company may either agree to pay or appeal, in full or in part. The Company has recorded a liability for unclaimed property based on the facts currently known to the Company.
In October 2014, WESCO was notified that the New York County District Attorney’s Office is conducting a criminal investigation involving minority and disadvantaged business contracting practices in the construction industry in New York City and that various contractors, minority and disadvantaged business firms, and their material suppliers, including the Company, are a part of this investigation. The Company has commenced an internal review of this matter and intends to cooperate with the government investigation. The Company cannot predict the outcome or impact of the matter at this time, but could be subject to fines, penalties or other adverse consequences. Based on the facts currently known to the Company, it cannot reasonably estimate a range of exposure to potential liability at this time.
8. INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was 29.3% and 29.4%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was 28.0% and 28.1%, respectively. WESCO’s effective tax rate is lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% in both periods primarily due to benefits resulting from the tax effect of intercompany financing and lower rates on foreign earnings, which are partially offset by nondeductible expenses and state taxes. There have been no material adjustments to liabilities relating to uncertain tax positions since the last annual disclosure for the year ended December 31, 2014.

WESCO INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein and WESCO International, Inc.’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in its 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The matters discussed herein may contain forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. Certain of these risks are set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as well as the Company’s other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Company Overview
WESCO International, Inc., incorporated in 1993 and effectively formed in February 1994 upon acquiring a distribution business from Westinghouse Electric Corporation, is a leading North American based distributor of products and provider of advanced supply chain management and logistics services used primarily in industrial, construction, utility and commercial, institutional and government (“CIG”) markets. 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 and broadband communications, power distribution equipment, lighting and lighting control systems, control and automation, motors, and safety.
We serve over 75,000 active customers globally through approximately 485 full service branches and nine distribution centers located in the United States, Canada, and Mexico with offices in 16 additional countries. The Company employs approximately 9,400 employees worldwide. We distribute over 1,000,000 products, grouped into six categories, from more than 25,000 suppliers utilizing a highly automated, proprietary electronic procurement and inventory replenishment system.
In addition, we offer a comprehensive portfolio of value-added capabilities, 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.
Our financial results for the first six months of 2015 reflect a reduced demand in commodity-driven end markets and the unfavorable impact of changes in foreign currencies. Net sales decreased $82.9 million, or 2.2%, over the same period last year. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 79.9% and 79.4% for the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses as a percentage of net sales were 14.5% and 14.3% for the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Operating profit was $177.4 million for the current six month period, compared to $208.8 million for the first six months of 2014. Operating profit decreased primarily due to lower sales volume, lower supplier volume rebates, business mix, and continued competitive market pricing pressures. Net income attributable to WESCO International, Inc. for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $98.8 million and $120.7 million, respectively.
Cash Flow
We generated $132.6 million in operating cash flow for the first six months of 2015. Investing activities included cash paid of $68.5 million, which was primarily related to the acquisition of Hill Country, and capital expenditures of $12.6 million. Financing activities consisted of borrowings and repayments of $634.0 million and $564.0 million, respectively, related to our revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), borrowings and repayments of $160.2 million and $112.6 million, respectively, related to our accounts receivable securitization facility (the “Receivables Facility”), and repayments of $44.7 million applied to our term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility"). Financing activities in 2015 also included borrowings and repayments on our various international lines of credit of approximately $60.4 million and $58.2 million, respectively. Additionally, financing activities for the first six months of 2015 included the repurchase of $75.0 million of the Company's common stock pursuant to the share repurchase plan announced on December 17, 2014. Free cash flow for the first six months of 2015 and 2014 was $120.0 million and $39.0 million, respectively.

Net sales were $1.9 billion for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $2.0 billion for the second quarter of 2014, a decrease of 4.4%. Normalized organic sales decreased 3.0%; foreign exchange rates negatively impacted sales by 3.0% and were partially offset by a 1.6% positive impact from acquisitions.

Note: Normalized organic sales growth is provided by the Company as an additional financial measure to provide a better understanding of the Company's sales growth trends. Normalized organic sales growth is calculated by deducting the percentage impact from acquisitions, foreign exchange rates and number of workdays from the overall percentage change in consolidated net sales.
Cost of goods sold for the second quarter of 2015 and 2014 was $1.5 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively, and as a percentage of net sales was 80.1% and 79.5% in 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to lower sales volume, lower supplier volume rebates, business mix, and continued competitive market pricing pressures compared to last year's comparable quarter.
SG&A expenses in the second quarter of 2015 totaled $275.2 million versus $278.7 million in last year's comparable quarter. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 14.4% in the second quarter of 2015 compared to 13.9% in the second quarter of 2014. The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to a reduction in headcount, lower variable compensation costs, and ongoing discretionary spending cost controls, partially offset by the effect of acquisitions.
SG&A payroll expenses for the second quarter of 2015 of $193.3 million decreased by $1.3 million compared to the same quarter in 2014. The decrease in SG&A payroll expenses was primarily due to headcount reduction and lower commission and incentive compensation costs, partially offset by the effect of acquisitions.
Depreciation and amortization for the second quarter of 2015 and 2014 was $16.1 million and $17.2 million, respectively.
Interest expense totaled $18.6 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $20.3 million in last year's comparable quarter, a decrease of 8.5%. The following table sets forth the components of interest expense:

Income tax expense totaled $21.0 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $26.7 million in last year's comparable quarter, and the effective tax rate was 29.3% compared to 28.0% in the same quarter in 2014. Our effective tax rate is impacted by the relative amounts of income earned in the United States and foreign jurisdictions, primarily Canada, and the tax rates in these jurisdictions. The increase in the tax rate in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to last year’s comparable quarter was primarily due to the unfavorable change in the Canadian to U.S. dollar foreign exchange rate.

For the second quarter of 2015, net income decreased by $18.1 million to $50.6 million compared to $68.8 million in the second quarter of 2014.
Net loss of $1.1 million was attributable to noncontrolling interest for the second quarter of 2015, as compared to a net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest of less than $0.1 million for the second quarter of 2014. During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded a higher net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest due to unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Net income and diluted earnings per share attributable to WESCO International, Inc. were $51.7 million and $1.00 per share, respectively, for the second quarter of 2015, compared with $68.8 million and $1.29 per share, respectively, for the second quarter of 2014.

Net sales in the first six months of 2015 totaled $3.7 billion versus $3.8 billion in the comparable period for 2014, a decrease of $82.9 million, or 2.2%, over the same period last year. Normalized organic sales decreased 0.1%; foreign exchange rates and number of workdays negatively impacted sales by 2.7% and 0.8%, respectively, and were partially offset by a 1.4% positive impact from acquisitions.

Cost of goods sold for the first six months of 2015 and 2014 was $3.0 billion, and as a percentage of net sales was 79.9% and 79.4% in 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to lower sales volume, lower supplier volume rebates, business mix, and continued competitive market pricing pressures compared to the first half of 2014.

SG&A expenses in the first six months of 2015 totaled $539.8 million versus $544.2 million in last year's comparable quarter. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 14.5% in the in the first half of 2015 compared to 14.3% in the first half of 2014. The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to a reduction in headcount, lower variable compensation costs, and ongoing discretionary spending cost controls, partially offset by the effect of acquisitions.
SG&A payroll expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 of $377.9 million decreased by $2.9 million compared to the same period in 2014. The decrease in SG&A payroll expenses was primarily due to headcount reduction and lower commission and incentive compensation costs, partially offset by the effect of acquisitions.
Depreciation and amortization for the first six months of 2015 and 2014 was $32.1 million and $33.6 million, respectively.
Interest expense totaled $39.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $41.0 million in last year's comparable quarter, a decrease of 3.7%. The following table sets forth the components of interest expense:

Income tax expense totaled $40.5 million for the first six months of 2015 compared to $47.1 million for the first six months of 2014, and the effective tax rate was 29.4% compared to 28.1% in the same period in 2014. Our effective tax rate is impacted by the relative amounts of income earned in the United States and foreign jurisdictions, primarily Canada, and the tax rates in these jurisdictions. The increase in the tax rate in the first six months of 2015 as compared to last year’s comparable period was primarily due to the unfavorable change in the Canadian to U.S. dollar foreign exchange rate.
For the first six months of 2015, net income decreased by $23.2 million to $97.4 million compared to $120.6 million in the first six months of 2014.
Net loss of $1.3 million was attributable to noncontrolling interest for the first six months of 2015, as compared to a net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest of $0.1 million for the first six months of 2014. During the current six month period, the Company recorded a higher net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest due to unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Net income and diluted earnings per share attributable to WESCO International, Inc. were $98.8 million and $1.90 per share, respectively, for the six month period ended 2015, compared with $120.7 million and $2.26 per share, respectively, for the six month period ended 2014.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total assets were $4.7 billion and $4.8 billion at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Total liabilities were $2.9 billion at June 30, 2015 and $2.8 billion at December 31, 2014. Stockholders’ equity decreased $62.2 million to $1.9 billion at June 30, 2015, mainly due to $88.3 million of foreign currency translation adjustments and the repurchase of $75.0 million of the Company's common stock pursuant to the share repurchase program. These decreases were partially offset by net income of $98.8 million.
Our liquidity needs generally arise from fluctuations in our working capital requirements, capital expenditures, acquisitions and debt service obligations. As of June 30, 2015, we had $433.4 million in available borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility, which combined with our invested cash of $93.5 million, provided liquidity of $526.9 million. Invested cash

WESCO INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


included in our determination of liquidity represents cash deposited in interest bearing accounts. We believe cash provided by operations and financing activities will be adequate to cover our current operational and business needs. In addition, the Company regularly reviews its mix of fixed versus variable rate debt, and the Company may, from time to time, issue or retire borrowings, refinance existing debt, and/or enter into certain hedging instruments in an effort to mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations and to maintain a cost-effective capital structure consistent with its anticipated capital requirements. At June 30, 2015, approximately 51% of the Company's debt portfolio was comprised of fixed rate debt.
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. We also communicate on a regular basis with our lenders regarding our financial and working capital performance, liquidity position and financial leverage. Our financial leverage ratio was 3.3 and 3.0 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. In addition, we are in compliance with all covenants and restrictions contained in our debt agreements as of June 30, 2015.

The convertible debentures and term loan are presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets in long-term debt, net of the unamortized discount.
Note: Financial leverage is a non-GAAP financial measure provided by the Company to illustrate its capital structure position. Financial leverage ratio is calculated by dividing total debt, including debt discount, by EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as the trailing twelve months earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
At June 30, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $174.3 million, of which $137.5 million was held by foreign subsidiaries. The cash held by some of our foreign subsidiaries could be subject to additional U.S. income taxes if repatriated. We believe that we are able to maintain a sufficient level of liquidity for our domestic operations and commitments without repatriation of the cash held by these foreign subsidiaries.
We did not note any conditions or events during the second quarter of 2015 requiring an interim evaluation of impairment of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets. We will perform our annual impairment testing of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter of 2015. 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, acquisitions and share repurchases. Our near term focus will be managing our working capital and maintaining ample liquidity and credit availability. 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.

Cash Flow
Operating Activities. Cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2015 totaled $132.6 million, compared with $50.8 million of cash generated for the first six months of 2014. Cash provided by operating activities included net income of $97.4 million and adjustments to net income totaling $61.5 million. Other sources of cash in 2015 were primarily generated from a decrease in other accounts receivable of $76.6 million due mostly to the collection of supplier volume rebates accrued in the preceding year. Primary uses of cash in 2015 included: a decrease in other current and noncurrent liabilities of $47.1 million; $26.7 million for the increase in inventories; $26.5 million for the decrease in accrued payroll and benefit costs resulting primarily from the payment of management incentive compensation earned by employees in 2014; and $3.8 million from the increase in trade receivables resulting from higher sales in the latter part of the quarter as compared to the comparable prior period.
Cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2014 totaled $50.8 million, which included net income of $120.6 million and adjustments to net income totaling $53.1 million. Other sources of cash in 2014 were generated from an increase in accounts payable of $47.1 million due to an increase in purchasing activity, an increase in other current and noncurrent liabilities of $20.5 million and a decrease in other accounts receivable of $12.7 million due mostly to the collection of supplier volume rebates accrued in the preceding year. Primary uses of cash in 2014 included: $121.8 million for an increase in trade receivables resulting from an increase in sales in the first half of the year; $44.9 million for an increase in inventories; $30.8 million for the increase in prepaid expenses and other assets; and $5.7 million for a decrease in accrued payroll and benefit costs.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the first six months of 2015 was $79.7 million, compared with $145.1 million of net cash used during the first six months of 2014. Included in the first six months of 2015 were payments of $68.5 million, which were primarily related to the acquisition of Hill Country, compared to acquisition payments in the first six months of 2014 of $133.3 million related to LaPrairie, Hazmasters and Hi-Line. Capital expenditures were $12.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $11.8 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2014.
Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities for the first six months of 2015 was $2.0 million. Net cash provided by financing activities for the first six months of 2014 was $75.3 million. During the first six months of 2015, financing activities consisted of borrowings and repayments of $634.0 million and $564.0 million, respectively, related to our Revolving Credit Facility, borrowings and repayments of $160.2 million and $112.6 million, respectively, related to our Receivables Facility, and repayments of $44.7 million applied to our Term Loan Facility. Financing activities in 2015 also included borrowings and repayments on our various international lines of credit of approximately $60.4 million and $58.2 million, respectively. Additionally, financing activities for the first six months of 2015 included the repurchase of $80.7 million of the Company's common stock, $75.0 million of which was pursuant to the repurchase plan announced on December 17, 2014.
During the first six months of 2014, borrowings and repayments of $494.7 million and $461.5 million, respectively, were made to our Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings and repayments of $112.1 million and $65.7 million respectively, were applied to our Receivables Facility, and there were repayments of $9.8 million applied to our Term Loan Facility. Financing activities in 2014 also included borrowings and repayments on our various international lines of credit of approximately $33.1 million and $26.0 million, respectively.
Contractual Cash Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments
There were no material changes in our contractual obligations and other commercial commitments that would require an update to the disclosure provided in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Management believes that cash generated from operations, together with amounts available under our Revolving Credit Facility and the Receivables Facility, will be sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditures and other cash requirements for the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurances that this will continue to be the case.
Inflation
The rate of inflation, as measured by changes in the producer 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 measurable impact on our sales for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Historically, price changes from suppliers have been consistent with inflation and have not had a material impact on the results of operations.

WESCO INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


Seasonality
Our operating results are not significantly affected by seasonal factors. Sales during the first quarter are affected by a reduced level of activity. Sales during the second, third and fourth quarters are generally 4 - 6% higher than the first quarter. 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 from this pattern.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
See Note 2 of our Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the effect of new accounting pronouncements.
Forward-Looking Statements
From time to time in this report and in other written reports and oral statements, references are made to expectations regarding our future performance. When used in this context, the words “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “intends,” “expects,” “projects,” “will” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words. Such statements including, but not limited to, our statements regarding business strategy, growth strategy, competitive strengths, productivity and profitability enhancement, competition, new product and service introductions and liquidity and capital resources are based on management’s beliefs, as well as on assumptions made by and information currently available to, management, and involve various risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control.

Certain of these risks are set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as well as the Company’s other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We have undertaken no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks.
There have not been any material changes to our exposures to market risk during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 that would require an update to the relevant disclosures provided in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 4.    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.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. 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 outcomes of 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 fiscal 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, WESCO was a defendant in a lawsuit filed in a state court in Indiana in which a customer, ArcelorMittal Indiana Harbor, Inc. (“AIH”), alleged that the Company sold defective products to AIH in 2004 that were supplied to the Company by others. The lawsuit sought monetary damages in the amount of approximately $50 million. On February 14, 2013, the jury returned a verdict in favor of AIH and awarded damages in the amount of approximately $36.1 million, and judgment was entered on the jury's verdict. As a result, the Company recorded a $36.1 million charge to selling, general and administrative expenses in 2012. The Company received letters from its insurers confirming insurance coverage of the matter and recorded a receivable in the quarter ended March 31, 2013 in an amount equal to the previously recorded liability. The Company disputed this outcome and filed a post-trial motion challenging the verdict alleging various errors that occurred during trial. AIH also filed a post-trial motion asking the court to award additional amounts to AIH, including prejudgment and post-judgment interest. The Court denied the Company's post-trial motion on June 28, 2013 and granted in part AIH's motion, awarding prejudgment interest in the amount of $3.9 million and ordering post-judgment interest to accrue on the entire judgment at 8% per annum. In the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company received letters from its insurers confirming insurance coverage of all prejudgment and post-judgment interest related to the matter. Final judgment was entered by the court on July 16, 2013, and the Company appealed the judgment. On November 10, 2014, the Indiana Court of Appeals reversed the prejudgment interest award, but otherwise affirmed the underlying judgment. A petition for further review of the case was filed with the Indiana Supreme Court.
On April 15, 2015, the Company, AIH and the parties’ respective insurance carriers agreed to settle the case. As part of the settlement, the Company's insurers paid $35.8 million to AIH on April 30, 2015 in full and final satisfaction of the judgment, including any prejudgment and post-judgment interest, and AIH agreed to release all claims against the Company and its insurers. The parties also agreed to a dismissal of the pending appeal to the Indiana Supreme Court. To account for the settlement, the Company reversed the previously recorded liability and corresponding receivable of $36.1 million, plus $10.2 million of interest that had accrued in connection with this matter. Accordingly, the settlement of this matter had no net effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.  
See also the information set forth in Note 7 Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, which is incorporated by reference in response to this Item.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A. to Part 1 of WESCO’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
