Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Investment and Administrative Committees of
WESCO Distribution, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the WESCO Distribution, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) at December 29, 2004 and 2003, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

1.   Major Features of the Plan

WESCO Distribution, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) was established as of February 28, 1994 (date of inception). At the date of inception, certain employees of the predecessor company became employees of WESCO Distribution, Inc. (the “Company”) and participants in the Plan. At the date of inception, all funds held by the prior plans related to the transferred employees were transferred to the Plan.

The Plan covers the current employees of the Company and those former employees with a fund balance of at least $5,000 who elected to maintain their funds in the Plan. Former employees cannot make contributions to the Plan.

The Plan is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). Participants may elect to make tax deferred contributions ranging from 1% up to the lesser of 50% of their compensation or $13,000. Participants may elect to make after-tax contributions ranging from 1% up to the lesser of 50% of their compensation or $13,000. The $13,000 may be adjusted in future years by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The sum of the Tax Deferred Contributions and the After-Tax Contributions cannot exceed 15% of the participant’s compensation. Subject to limitation, the Company will make contributions (“Regular Company Contributions”) in an amount equal to 50% of a participant’s total monthly contributions up to a maximum of 6%. Participants who have attained age 50 before the close of the plan year are eligible to make catch-up contributions in addition to pre-tax contributions. A catch-up contribution is a pre-tax contribution that exceeds the annual deferral limit ($13,000 in 2004). An individual’s total catch-up contributions during 2004 cannot exceed $3,000. This limit increases by $1,000 each year until it reaches $5,000 in 2006. After 2006, the limit will be indexed for inflation. In addition, the Company may, at the Board of Directors’ discretion, make a discretionary profit sharing contribution (“Company Profit Sharing Contribution”) to the Plan provided certain predetermined profit levels are attained. The Company made a profit sharing contribution of $8,354,151 and $3,770,102 for the fiscal years ended December 29, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Participants are fully vested in the value of their contributions and related investment income at all times and vest in their allocated share of employer contributions according to the following schedule:

         
Less than two years of service
    0 %
Two years of service
    20 %
Three years of service
    40 %
Four years of service
    66 %
Five or more years of service
    100 %

In conjunction with a leveraged recapitalization of the Company all active employees as of June 5, 1998 became fully vested.

Employer contributions forfeited by participants not vested at their termination date are used to reinstate previously forfeited account balances of former participants who have returned to employment with the Company, or to reduce employer contributions in accordance with the plan document. Total forfeitures that reduced employer contributions in 2004 were approximately $530,000.

An account is maintained for each participant, which is credited with the participant’s contributions and an allocation of Company contributions and plan earnings. Allocations are based on participant contributions or account balances, as defined by the Plan. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from that participant’s account.

The Investment Committee and the Administrative Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors administer the Plan. Reference should be made to the Prospectus, “What Does Your Future Hold?”, for additional information on the Plan.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting Principles

The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The following are the significant accounting policies followed by the Plan:

Basis of Accounting

The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

Investments are carried at fair value in the accompanying financial statements. Investments in registered investment companies, common/collective trust funds and common stocks are valued by the trustee based on market values of all assets in the funds’ securities portfolio and the number of units in the funds owned by the Plan. Investments in the Viacom Pooled Stock Fund and WESCO International Stock Fund are valued at quoted market prices. Participant loans are valued at cost which approximates fair value.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a settlement date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Net Appreciation (Depreciation) in Value of Investments

The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments, which consists of the realized gains (losses) and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in common/collective trusts, registered investment companies, Viacom and WESCO International stock and other common stocks.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions. These may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions and deductions during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of stocks, bonds, fixed income securities and other investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the near-term could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

Other

Administrative expenses, excluding participant loan setup fees, distribution fees and hardship withdrawal fees, are paid by the Company and, therefore, are not expenses of the Plan.

Benefits are recorded when paid.

3.   Tax Status

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated October 15, 2003, that the Plan is designed in accordance with Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) and, therefore, is exempt from federal taxes under provisions of Section 501(a). Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements. The Plan has been amended since reviewing the determination letter. However, the Plan administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.

4.   Employee Loans

Participants are permitted to borrow against a portion of their vested account balance within the prescribed limitations and pursuant to nondiscriminatory rules established by the Administrative Committee. Each loan is to be repaid over a period not to exceed five years.

The interest rate applied to employee loans is established each month by the Administrative Committee at 1% above the PNC Bank prime interest rate. The interest rate on new loans ranged between 5.0% and 6.0% for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2004. Principal and interest payments are generally made through monthly payroll deductions and are credited to the participant’s individual account. Loans of approximately $3,159,000 were made from the Plan and loan principal repayments of approximately $2,905,000 were received by the Plan for the year ended December 29, 2004. Interest of approximately $320,000 was received by the Plan for the year ended December 29, 2004 related to employee loans.

5.   Plan Termination

Although the Company has not expressed any intent to do so, it has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event the Plan terminates, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts, and all vested assets shall be distributed to such participants in accordance with the terms of the Plan, or in such other manner, not inconsistent with the requirements of any applicable law or regulation, as the Company may in its sole discretion determine.

    59,467,399       *  
 
*   These funds did not represent 5% or more of the net assets available for benefits as of the respective Plan year end.

7.   Related Party Transactions

Certain investments of the Plan are mutual funds managed by American Express. The trustee of the Plan is American Express Trust Company. Participants of the Plan may also elect to invest in the WESCO Pooled Stock Fund. WESCO, Inc. is the plan sponsor. Therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

8.   Subsequent Event

The Plan document was amended on June 14, 2005. Following are the significant changes which will affect the Plan.

Effective April 2005, covered employees are automatically enrolled into the Plan at a contribution rate of 3% (covered employees can elect not to participate or change their contribution rate if they desire).

Effective September 2005, participants with pre-tax contribution rates between 1% and 5% will automatically have their contribution rate increased 1% per year until their contribution rate equals 6% (participants can elect not to change their contribution rate if they desire).

In the event that a discretionary contribution is authorized, the amount of the contribution will be based on a fixed schedule with contribution rates determined based on age and continuous years of service.
