# CDW Corporation: Business Model & Revenue Engine



## Direct Answer

CDW Corporation reports revenue across 4 business segments in its fiscal 2025 Form 10-K. Corporate Segment Private Sector Business is the largest, with $9.4 billion of revenue (42% of the total), followed by Public Segment Government Agencies Education and Healthcare at $8.5 billion (38%). 88% of revenue came from the United States.

## How Does CDW Corporation Make Money?

No single line supplies a majority of revenue: the largest, Corporate Segment Private Sector Business, is 42%, which spreads CDW Corporation's exposure across several demand drivers. Between fiscal 2024 and 2025, Small Business grew fastest (+13.3%) and Public Segment Government Agencies Education and Healthcare slowest (+4.6%), so the revenue mix tilts toward Small Business while that gap lasts.

| Segment | FY2025 revenue | FY2024 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Corporate Segment Private Sector Business | $9.4 billion | $8.8 billion | 42.1% | 6.8% |
| Public Segment Government Agencies Education and Healthcare | $8.5 billion | $8.2 billion | 38.1% | 4.6% |
| All Other | $2.7 billion | $2.5 billion | 12.1% | 9.7% |
| Small Business | $1.7 billion | $1.5 billion | 7.7% | 13.3% |

## Which CDW Corporation Segments Earn the Most?

| Segment | FY2025 segment operating income | Segment margin |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Corporate Segment Private Sector Business | $889 million | 9.4% |
| Public Segment Government Agencies Education and Healthcare | $750 million | 8.8% |
| All Other | $154 million | 5.7% |
| Small Business | $203 million | 11.8% |

Segment operating income is the profit measure CDW Corporation reports to its chief operating decision maker for each segment. It usually leaves out corporate costs that are not allocated to a segment, so the segments usually add up to more than consolidated operating income, and margins are comparable within CDW Corporation more safely than against another company.

## Where Does CDW Corporation's Revenue Come From?

Regions follow the definitions in the filing; most companies assign revenue by customer location.

| Region | FY2025 revenue | FY2024 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| United States | $19.6 billion | $18.5 billion | 87.5% | 6.3% |
| Outside the United States | $2.8 billion | $2.5 billion | 12.5% | 10.3% |

## What the Segment Figures Do Not Show

The rows above add up to 100% of CDW Corporation's reported revenue for fiscal 2025; the difference is intersegment eliminations, corporate revenue or items the company reports outside its segments. Segment definitions are management's choice and change when a company reorganizes, in which case it restates prior years in the next filing, so a multi-year comparison should use the figures from a single filing. Revenue shows where sales come from, not where profit or cash is earned: a small segment can carry most of the margin.

## Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value CDW Corporation reported in the segment note and revenue disclosures of its Form 10-K filed February 20, 2026 (accession 0001402057-26-000011), read from the SEC's Financial Statement Data Sets. The prior-year column is the comparative figure from that same filing, so it reflects any restatement for a change in segments. Category names are the company's own XBRL labels, lightly reformatted for reading.

Rows that only total other rows (for example a "Products" line beside the individual products) are left out so nothing is counted twice. This page is educational and describes reported history for fiscal 2025; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
