In the year ahead we will build upon and further leverage these accomplishments. We are also moving forward with
positioning ourselves as a “tablet” computer destination for consumers as a number of exciting tablet offerings are on
the way from our vendors. We look forward to the expansion of this new category on a broad scale later this year.
In addition, the rollout of our Retail 2.0 powered mobility centers in our retail stores is moving forward. This is a
significant expansion of our web focused mobile category that will provide customers with a full service offering at
our stores – from device and plan selection to set up. Our mobility centers will serve all connected devices including
smart phones, tablets or laptops, and we currently expect to have mobile centers in more than half of our U.S. stores
by year-end. We made changes in the leadership of our North American Technology Products business during April
2011. We believe these actions have significantly improved the capabilities of our senior management team
capabilities and look forward to improved operations.
Overall, our financial position is strong and we are in a good position to drive enhanced performance in 2011
assuming economic conditions continue to improve and we execute well. We will continue to prudently invest in and
expand our businesses. Our B2B business is strong and we remain optimistic about the future for our consumer
channel as we expand our product offering and the economy improves. We believe our strategic efforts to continue
building a diversified and multichannel company positions us to create additional value for stockholders over the
long-term. I would like to thank our stockholders for their confidence in our business strategy and senior management
team; our loyal employees for their dedication and hard work; our vendors for continuing to provide us with great
products at great values; and our customers for continuing to place their confidence in our ability to provide them
with the products and services they want at the prices they want, which has provided Systemax with more than 60
years of success and growth.
Sincerely,
Richard Leeds
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
April 28, 2011
