CDW Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.50 Per Share

Reinforces Ongoing Commitment to Delivering Value to Stockholders

CDW Corporation (Nasdaq:CDW), a leading multi-brand provider of information technology solutions to business, government, education and healthcare customers in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada, today announced that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per common share to be paid on March 10, 2022 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 25, 2022. This amount represents a 25 percent increase over last year’s dividend. Future dividends will be subject to Board of Director approval.

“Dividends continue to be an important part of our capital allocation priorities, along with managing leverage to our target ratio, making strategic acquisitions and share repurchases. Since our IPO in June 2013, our dividend has increased 10-fold and we have returned more than $5.2 billion to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends,” said Albert J. Miralles, chief financial officer, CDW. “After financing $2.5 billion for the acquisition of Sirius in December of 2021, we will optimize the use of cash flow after paying dividends to focus on reducing debt to our net leverage target range of 2.5 to 3.0 times in 2022. We will put a lower priority on strategic acquisitions and share repurchases until net leverage is within our target range, which we expect to achieve by the end of 2022.”
