Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

          On October 28, 2004, Ingram Micro Inc. (“Ingram Micro”) issued a press release announcing Ingram Micro’s financial results for its third quarter ended October 2, 2004 and an outlook for the fourth quarter ending January 1, 2005. A copy of the press release, together with the related financial schedules, are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, the text of which are incorporated under Item 2.02 of this Form 8-K by reference herein. This press release, together with the related financial schedules, are not to be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing, or to form a part of Ingram Micro’s public disclosure in the United States or otherwise.

          Financial results excluding major-program costs associated with Ingram Micro’s profit-enhancement program, as well as those including off-balance sheet debt, are considered non-GAAP and are presented as supplemental information, along with other financial metrics such as accounts receivable, and total borrowings including off-balance sheet debt, to enhance the public’s understanding of, and highlight trends in, the company’s financial results excluding reorganization costs and major-program costs. Ingram Micro’s management utilizes these non-GAAP financial measures, along with primary GAAP measures, in analyzing and measuring the performance of the company’s core operations from period to period.
