Inflation We have historically not been adversely affected by inflation, as technological advances and competition within the IT industry have generally caused the prices of the products we sell to decline and product life cycles tend to be short. This requires our growth in unit sales to exceed the decline in prices in order to increase our net sales.

Adjusting our cash conversion cycle calculation by adding netted costs to both daily net sales and daily costs of goods sold results in a reduction to our cash conversion cycle from 40 days to 28 days in the fourth quarter of 2022 and no change in the fourth quarter of 2021, which we believe provides a more accurate reflection of our cash flow operating metrics. We expect that cash flow from operations will be used, at least partially, to fund working capital as we typically pay our partners on average terms that are shorter than the average terms we grant to our clients in order to take advantage of supplier discounts. We intend to use cash generated in 2023 in excess of working capital needs, given current market conditions, to pay down our ABL facility and our inventory financing facilities.
