ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS FOR PURPOSES OF THE “SAFE
HARBOR” PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES
LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”) provides a “safe harbor” for “forward-
looking statements” to encourage companies to provide prospective information, so long as such information is
identified as forward-looking and is accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statement(s).
Ingram Micro desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Act.
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2006, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q,
our current reports on Form 8-K, periodic press releases, as well as other public documents and statements, may
contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Act, including, but not limited to, management’s
expectations for process improvement; competition; revenues, expenses and other operating results or ratios;
contingencies and litigation; economic conditions; liquidity; capital requirements; and exchange rate fluctuations.
Forward-looking statements also include any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results,
performance, or achievements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as
“believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “project,” “continue,” “plans,” “aims,”
“intends,” “likely,” or other similar words or phrases.
We disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements. In addition, our representatives participate
from time to time in:
• speeches and calls with market analysts,
• conferences, meetings and calls with investors and potential investors in our securities, and
• other meetings and conferences.
Some of the information presented in these calls, meetings and conferences may be forward-looking within the
meaning of the Act.
Our actual results could differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements made by or on
behalf of Ingram Micro. In this regard, from time to time, we have failed to meet consensus analysts’ estimates of
revenue or earnings. In future quarters, our operating results may differ significantly from the expectations of public
market analysts or investors or those projected in forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of Ingram Micro
due to unanticipated events, including, but not limited to, those discussed in this section. Because of our narrow
