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," said Albert J. Miralles, chief financial officer, CDW. "The fourth quarter 2021 dividend demonstrates our confidence in the earnings power and cash flow generation of the business and marks the eighth consecutive year of increases since our IPO in June 2013, with the dividend growing at a compound annual growth rate of 36 percent from its initial level. We have returned approximately $4.8 billion to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. We intend to continue to execute against our capital allocation priorities to deliver value to our shareholders just as we've delivered value to our customers and partners for over 35 years."
