PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Flextronics International Ltd.
Singapore
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Flextronics
International Ltd. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 29, 2007, and the related condensed
consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended June 29,
2007 and June 30, 2006. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys
management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of
applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which
is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly,
we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to
such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2007
and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders equity, and cash flows for the
year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated May 25, 2007, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and included an explanatory
paragraph regarding the Companys adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123(R), Share-Based Payment. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2007 is fairly stated, in all material
respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE A ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY
Flextronics International Ltd. (Flextronics or the Company) was incorporated in the
Republic of Singapore in May 1990. The Company is a leading provider of advanced design and
electronics manufacturing services (EMS) to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of a broad
range of products in the following markets: computing; mobile communications; consumer digital;
telecommunications infrastructure; industrial, semiconductor and white goods; automotive, marine
and aerospace; and medical devices. The Companys strategy is to provide customers with a full
range of vertically-integrated global supply chain services through which the Company designs,
builds and ships a complete packaged product for its OEM customers. OEM customers leverage the
Companys services to meet their product requirements throughout the entire product life cycle. The
Company also provides after-market services such as logistics, repair and warranty services.
The Companys service offerings include rigid printed circuit board and flexible circuit
fabrication, systems assembly and manufacturing (including enclosures, testing services, materials
procurement and inventory management), logistics, after-sales services (including product repair,
re-manufacturing and maintenance) and multiple component product offerings. Additionally, the
Company provides market-specific design and engineering services ranging from contract design
services (CDM), where the customer purchases services on a time and materials basis, to original
product design and manufacturing services, where the customer purchases a product that was
designed, developed and manufactured by the Company (commonly referred to as original design
manufacturing, or ODM). ODM products are then sold by the Companys OEM customers under the OEMs
brand names. The Companys CDM and ODM services include user interface and industrial design,
mechanical engineering and tooling design, electronic system design and printed circuit board
design.
In September 2006, the Company completed the sale of its Software Development and Solutions
business to an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (KKR). The results of operations for
the Software Development and Solutions business are included in discontinued operations in the
condensed consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note M, Discontinued Operations for further
details.
On June 4, 2007, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Solectron
Corporation (Solectron) in a cash and stock transaction preliminarily valued at $3.7 billion,
including estimated transaction related costs. Refer to the discussion of the Companys definitive
agreement with Solectron in Note L, Acquisitions and Divestitures.
NOTE B SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S.
GAAP or GAAP) for interim financial information and in accordance with the requirements of
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the
Companys audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31,
2007 contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended June 29, 2007
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended March
31, 2008.
The Companys fiscal fourth quarter and year ends on March 31 of each year. The first and
second fiscal quarters end on the Friday closest to the last day of each respective calendar
quarter. The third fiscal quarter ends on December 31.
Amounts included in the condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S.
dollars unless otherwise designated.
7
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Flextronics and its majority-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and
transactions. The Company consolidates all majority-owned subsidiaries and investments in entities
in which the Company has a controlling interest. For consolidated majority-owned subsidiaries in
which the Company owns less than 100%, the Company recognizes a minority interest for the ownership
interest of the minority owner. As of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007, minority interest was not
material. The associated minority owners interest in the income or losses of these companies has
not been material to the Companys results of operations for the three-month periods ended June 29,
2007 and June 30, 2006, and has been classified, as applicable, within income from discontinued
operations or as interest and other expense, net, in the condensed consolidated statements of
operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used in
accounting for, among other things, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory write-downs,
valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, useful lives of property, equipment and intangible
assets, asset impairments, fair values of derivative instruments and the related hedged items,
restructuring charges, contingencies, capital leases, and the fair values of options granted under
the Companys stock-based compensation plans. Actual results may differ from previously estimated
amounts, and such differences may be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in
the period they occur.
Translation of Foreign Currencies
The financial position and results of operations for certain of the Companys subsidiaries are
measured using a currency other than the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. Accordingly, all
assets and liabilities for these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the current
exchange rates as of the respective balance sheet date. Revenue and expense items are translated at
the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Cumulative gains and losses from the
translation of these subsidiaries financial statements are reported as a separate component of
shareholders equity. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a
currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved, and remeasurement adjustments
for foreign operations where the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, are included in operating
results.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes manufacturing revenue when it ships goods or the goods are received by
its customer, title and risk of ownership have passed, the price to the buyer is fixed or
determinable and recoverability is reasonably assured. Generally, there are no formal customer
acceptance requirements or further obligations related to manufacturing services. If such
requirements or obligations exist, then the Company recognizes the related revenues at the time
when such requirements are completed and the obligations are fulfilled. The Company makes
provisions for estimated sales returns and other adjustments at the time revenue is recognized
based upon contractual terms and an analysis of historical returns. These provisions were not
material to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month periods ended June
29, 2007 and June 30, 2006.
The Company provides services for its customers that range from contract design to original
product design to repair services. The Company recognizes service revenue when the services have
been performed and the related costs are expensed as incurred. Net sales for services from
continuing operations were less than 10% of the Companys total sales from continuing operations
during the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, and accordingly, are included
in net sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers financial condition and
makes provisions for doubtful accounts based on the outcome of those credit evaluations. The
Company evaluates the collectibility of its
8
accounts receivable based on specific customer circumstances, current economic trends,
historical experience with collections and the age of past due receivables. Unanticipated changes
in the liquidity or financial position of the Companys customers may require additional provisions
for doubtful accounts.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or market value.
The stated cost is comprised of direct materials, labor and overhead. The components of
inventories, net of applicable lower of cost or market write-downs, were as follows:

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets (three to thirty years),
with the exception of building leasehold improvements, which are amortized over the term of the
lease, if shorter.
The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability
of property and equipment is measured by comparing its carrying amount to the projected
undiscounted cash flows the property and equipment are expected to generate. An impairment loss is
recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.
Deferred Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method of
accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax
consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax basis of existing
assets and liabilities by applying the applicable statutory tax rate to such differences.
Purchase Accounting
The Company has actively pursued business and asset acquisitions, which are accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting. The fair value of the net assets acquired and the results
of the acquired businesses are included in the Companys condensed consolidated financial
statements from the acquisition dates forward. Under the purchase method of accounting, the
Company is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and results of operations during the reporting period. Estimates are used in
accounting for, among other things, the fair value of acquired net operating assets, property and
equipment, intangible assets and related deferred tax liabilities, useful lives of plant and
equipment and amortizable lives for acquired intangible assets. Any excess of the purchase
consideration over the identified fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired is recognized
as goodwill. Additionally, the Company may be required to recognize liabilities for anticipated
restructuring costs that will be necessary due to the elimination of excess capacity, redundant
assets or unnecessary functions.
The Company estimates the preliminary fair value of acquired assets and liabilities as of the
date of acquisition based on information available at that time and other estimates that management
believes are reasonable. The valuation of these tangible and identifiable intangible assets and
liabilities is subject to further management review and may change materially between the
preliminary allocation and end of the purchase price allocation period. Any changes in these
estimates may have a material impact on the Companys condensed consolidated operating results or
financial condition.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles
Goodwill of the Companys reporting units is tested for impairment each year as of January
31st and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of goodwill may not be recoverable. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level
by comparing the reporting units carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the
reporting unit. Reporting units represent components of the Company for which discrete financial
information is available that is regularly reviewed by management. For purposes of the annual
goodwill impairment evaluation, as of January 31, 2007 the Company had a single reporting unit:
Electronics Manufacturing Services. If the carrying amount of this reporting unit exceeds its fair
value, the amount of impairment loss recognized, if any, is measured using a discounted cash flow
analysis. Further, to the extent the carrying amount of the Company as a whole is greater than its
market capitalization, all, or a significant portion of its goodwill may be considered impaired.
The following table summarizes the activity in the Companys goodwill account during the
three-month period ended June 29, 2007:

Includes adjustments and reclassifications resulting from
managements final review of the valuation of tangible and
identifiable intangible assets and liabilities acquired through
certain business combinations completed in a period subsequent to
the respective period of acquisition, based on managements
estimates, of which approximately $11.9 million was attributable
to the Companys November 2006 acquisition of International
DisplayWorks, Inc. (IDW). The remaining amount was primarily
attributable to other immaterial purchase accounting adjustments
and divestitures that were not individually significant to the
Company. Refer to the discussion of the Companys acquisitions in
Note L, Acquisitions and Divestitures. |
The Companys acquired intangible assets are subject to amortization over their estimated
useful lives and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an intangible may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized
when the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value. Intangible assets are
comprised of customer-related intangibles, which primarily include contractual agreements and
customer relationships; and licenses and other intangibles, which is primarily comprised of
licenses and also includes patents and trademarks, and developed technologies. Customer-related
intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis generally over a period of up to eight years,
and licenses and other intangibles over a period of up to five years. No residual value is
estimated for any intangible assets. During the three-month period ended June 29, 2007, there were
approximately $42.0 million of additions to intangible assets related to customer-related
intangibles and approximately $5.1 million related to acquired licenses. The fair value of the
Companys intangible assets purchased through business combinations is principally determined based
on managements estimates of cash flow and recoverability. The Company is in the process of
determining the fair value of intangible assets acquired in certain historical business
combinations. Such valuations will be completed within one year of purchase. The components of
acquired intangible assets are as follows:

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
All derivative instruments are recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair
value. If the derivative instrument is designated as a cash flow hedge, effectiveness is measured
quarterly based on a regression of the spot rates for the notional currency pairs underlying the
derivative instrument for the prior 30 month period. The effective portion of changes in the fair
value of the derivative instrument, excluding changes in fair value attributable to time value, is
recognized in shareholders equity as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive
income and recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations when the hedged item
affects earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges, together
with changes in fair value attributable to time value, are recognized in earnings immediately. If
the derivative instrument is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the
derivative instrument and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in
earnings in the current period.
Other Assets
The Company has certain investments in, and notes receivable from, non-publicly traded
companies, which are included within other assets in the Companys condensed consolidated balance
sheets. Non-majority-owned investments are accounted for using the equity method when the Company
has an ownership percentage equal to or greater than 20%, or has the ability to significantly
influence the operating decisions of the issuer; otherwise, the cost method is used. The Company
monitors these investments for impairment and makes appropriate reductions in carrying values as
required.
As of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007, the Companys investments in non-majority owned
companies totaled $246.5 million and $250.5 million, respectively, of which $119.0 million and
$122.9 million, respectively, were accounted for using the equity method. The associated equity in
the earnings or losses of these equity method investments has not been material to the Companys
condensed consolidated results of operations for the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and
June 30, 2006, and has been classified as a component of interest and other expense, net in the
condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007, notes
receivable from these non-majority owned investments totaled $353.9 million and $343.9 million,
respectively, of which $123.9 million and $121.7 million, respectively, was due from an investment
accounted for using the equity method.
Other assets also include the Companys own investment participation in its trade receivables
securitization program as further discussed in Note H, Trade Receivables Securitization.
Restructuring Charges
The Company recognizes restructuring charges related to its plans to close or consolidate
duplicate manufacturing and administrative facilities. In connection with these activities, the
Company records restructuring charges for
11
employee termination costs, long-lived asset impairment and other exit-related costs.
The recognition of restructuring charges requires the Company to make certain judgments and
estimates regarding the nature, timing and amount of costs associated with the planned exit
activity. To the extent the Companys actual results differ from its estimates and assumptions, the
Company may be required to revise the estimates of future liabilities, requiring the recognition of
additional restructuring charges or the reduction of liabilities already recognized. Such changes
to previously estimated amounts may be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
At the end of each reporting period, the Company evaluates the remaining accrued balances to ensure
that no excess accruals are retained and the utilization of the provisions are for their intended
purpose in accordance with developed exit plans.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial
Assets (SFAS 156), which amends SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial
Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. SFAS 156 requires recognition of a servicing asset or
liability at fair value each time an obligation is undertaken to service a financial asset by
entering into a servicing contract. SFAS 156 also provides guidance on subsequent measurement
methods for each class of servicing assets and liabilities and specifies financial statement
presentation and disclosure requirements. SFAS 156 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
September 15, 2006 and was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. The
adoption of SFAS 156 did not have a material impact on the Companys condensed consolidated results
of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes (FIN 48) as an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes
(SFAS 109). This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
recognized by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial
statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax
return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition of tax benefits previously
recognized and additional disclosures for unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties. The
evaluation of a tax position in accordance with this Interpretation begins with a determination as
to whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based
on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not
recognition threshold is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50
percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement for recognition in the financial
statements. FIN 48 is effective no later than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and
was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008.
The Company did not recognize any adjustments to its liability for unrecognized tax benefits
as a result of the implementation of FIN 48 other than to reclassify
$65.0 million from other current
liabilities to other liabilities as required by the Interpretation. As of April 1, 2007 the
Company had approximately $66.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits, substantially all of which,
if recognized, would affect its tax expense. The Companys unrecognized tax benefits are subject
to change over the next twelve months primarily as a result of the expiration of certain statutes
of limitations. Although the amount of these adjustments cannot be reasonably estimated at this
time, the Company is not currently aware of any material impact on its condensed consolidated
results of operations and financial condition.
The Company and its subsidiaries file federal, state and local income tax returns in multiple
jurisdictions around the world. With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income
tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2000.
The Company has elected to include estimated interest and penalties on its tax liabilities as
a component of tax expense. Estimated interest and penalties recognized in the condensed
consolidated balance sheet and condensed consolidated statement of operations were not significant.

NOTE C STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Effective April 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No.
123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (SFAS 123(R)) under the modified prospective
transition method. As of June 29, 2007, the Company grants equity compensation awards to acquire
the Companys ordinary shares from three plans, which are referred to as the Companys equity
compensation plans below. For further discussion of these Plans, refer to Note 2, Summary of
Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companys Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
Determining Fair Value
The fair value of options granted to employees under the Companys equity compensation plans
during the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006 was estimated using the
following weighted-average assumptions:

Stock-Based Compensation Expense
As required by SFAS 123(R), management estimates expected forfeitures and is recognizing
compensation costs only for those equity awards expected to vest. When estimating forfeitures, the
Company considers voluntary termination behavior as well as an analysis of actual option
forfeitures.
During the three-month period ended June 29, 2007, the Company capitalized approximately
$604,000 of stock-based compensation as part of inventory. As of June 29, 2007, the total
compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted to employees under the Companys equity
compensation plans but not yet recognized was approximately $52.3 million, net of estimated
forfeitures of $3.9 million. This cost will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a
weighted-average period of approximately 2.3 years, and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in
estimated forfeitures. As of June 29, 2007, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to
unvested share bonus awards granted to employees under the Companys equity compensation plans was
approximately $49.0 million, net of estimated forfeitures of approximately $2.3 million. This cost
will be amortized generally on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of
approximately 3.4 years, and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures.
In accordance with SFAS 123(R), the cash flows resulting from excess tax benefits (tax
benefits related to the excess of proceeds from employee exercises of stock options over the
stock-based compensation cost recognized for those options) are classified as financing cash flows.
During the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, the Company did not recognize
any excess tax benefits as a financing cash inflow related to its equity compensation plans.
Stock-Based Awards Activity
The following is a summary of option activity for the Companys equity compensation plans,
excluding unvested share bonus awards, during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007:

The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised (calculated as the difference between
the exercise price of the underlying award and the price of the Companys ordinary shares
determined as of the time of option exercise) under the Companys equity compensation plans was
$1.5 million and $2.7 million during the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006,
respectively.
Cash received from option exercises under all equity compensation plans was $3.0 million for
both the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006.

Of the 2.4 million unvested share bonus awards granted under the Companys equity
compensation plans during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007, 1,162,500 were granted to
certain key employees whereby vesting is contingent upon both a service requirement and the
Companys achievement of certain longer-term goals over periods ranging between three to five
years. Management currently believes that achievement of these longer-term goals is probable.
Compensation expense for share bonus awards with both a service and performance condition is being
recognized on a graded attribute basis over the respective requisite contractual or derived service
period of the awards.
The total fair value of shares vested under the Companys equity compensation plans was $9.5
million and $138,000 during the three-month periods ending June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006,
respectively.

NOTE D EARNINGS PER SHARE
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share (SFAS 128),
requires entities to present both basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share
exclude dilution and is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of
ordinary shares outstanding during the applicable periods.
Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution from stock options, share bonus
awards and convertible securities. The potential dilution from stock options exercisable into
ordinary share equivalents and share bonus awards was calculated using the treasury stock method
based on the average fair market value of the Companys ordinary shares for the period. The
potential dilution from the conversion spread (excess of conversion value over face value) of the
Subordinated Notes convertible into ordinary share equivalents was calculated as the quotient of
the conversion spread and the average fair market value of the Companys ordinary shares for the
period.
The following table reflects the basic weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding and
diluted weighted-average ordinary share equivalents used to calculate basic and diluted income per
share from continuing operations:

Ordinary share equivalents from stock options to purchase
approximately 38.3 million and 41.5 million shares outstanding
during the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30,
2006, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted
earnings per share primarily because the exercise price of these
options was greater than the average market price of the Companys
ordinary shares during the respective periods. |

|
(2) |
|
The principal amount of the Companys Zero Coupon Convertible
Junior Subordinated Notes will be settled in cash, and the
conversion spread (excess of conversion value over face value), if
any, will be settled by issuance of shares upon maturity.
Approximately 1.2 million and 856,000 ordinary share equivalents
from the conversion spread have been included as common stock
equivalents during the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and
June 30, 2006, respectively. |
|
|
|
|
In addition, as the Company has the positive intent and ability to
settle the principal amount of its 1% Convertible Subordinated
Notes due August 2010 in cash, approximately 32.2 million ordinary
share equivalents related to the principal portion of the Notes
are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.
The Company intends to settle any conversion spread (excess of the
conversion value over face value) in stock. During the three-month
periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, the conversion
obligation was less than the principal portion of the Convertible
Notes and accordingly, no additional shares were included as
ordinary share equivalents.

NOTE F BANK BORROWINGS AND LONG-TERM DEBT
On May 10, 2007, the Company entered into a new five-year $2.0 billion credit facility, which
expires in May 2012, which replaced the Companys $1.35 billion credit facility previously existing
as of March 31, 2007. As of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007, there were no borrowings outstanding
under the $2.0 billion or $1.35 billion credit facilities. The $2.0 billion credit facility is
unsecured, and contains certain covenants that are subject to a number of significant exceptions
and limitations, and also requires that the Company maintain a maximum ratio of total indebtedness
to EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization), and a minimum
fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined, during its term. As of June 29, 2007, the Company was in
compliance with the financial covenants under the $2.0 billion credit facility.
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries also have various uncommitted revolving credit
facilities, lines of credit and term loans in the amount of $543.0 million in the aggregate, under
which there were approximately $5.7 million and $8.1 million of borrowings outstanding as of June 29, 2007
and March 31, 2007, respectively. These credit facilities are unsecured and require the Company
maintain a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDA, and a minimum fixed charge coverage
ratio, as defined, during their term. As of June 29, 2007, the Company was in compliance with the
financial covenants under these facilities. The lines of credit and term loans are primarily
secured by accounts receivable.
NOTE G FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amount of the Companys cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value. The Companys cash
equivalents are comprised of cash deposited in money market accounts and certificates of deposit.
The Companys investment policy limits the amount of credit exposure to 20% of the total investment
portfolio in any single issuer.
The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk inherent in forecasted sales,
cost of sales, and assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. The Company has
established currency risk management programs to protect against reductions in value and volatility
of future cash flows caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company enters into
short-term foreign currency forward and swap contracts to hedge only those currency exposures
associated with certain assets and liabilities, primarily accounts receivable and accounts payable,
and cash flows denominated in non-functional currencies. Gains and losses on the Companys forward
and swap contracts generally offset losses and gains on the assets, liabilities and transactions
hedged, and accordingly, generally do not subject the Company to risk of significant accounting
losses. The Company hedges committed exposures and does not engage in speculative transactions. The
credit risk of these forward and swap contracts is minimized since the contracts are with large
financial institutions.
As of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007, the net fair value of the Companys short-term foreign
currency contracts was not material. As of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007, the associated
deferred losses relating to changes in fair value of the Companys foreign currency contracts were
also not material, were included as a component of other comprehensive income, and are expected to
be recognized in earnings over the next twelve
16
month period. The gains and losses recognized in earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness were
not material for the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006.
On November 17, 2004, the Company issued $500.0 million of 6.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due
in November 2014, of which $402.1 million of the original amount issued was outstanding as of June
29, 2007 and March 31, 2007. Interest is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15. The
Company also entered into interest rate swap transactions to effectively convert a portion of the
fixed interest rate debt to a variable rate. The swaps, having notional amounts totaling $400.0
million and which expire in November 2014, are accounted for as fair value hedges under Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities (SFAS 133). Under the terms of the swaps, the Company pays an interest rate equal to
the six-month LIBOR (estimated as 5.49% at June 29, 2007), set in arrears, plus a fixed spread
ranging from 1.37% to 1.52%, and receives a fixed rate of 6.25%. No portion of the swap transaction
is treated as ineffective under SFAS 133. As of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007, the Company
recognized approximately $23.4 million and $13.0 million in other current liabilities,
respectively, to reflect the fair value of the interest rate swaps, with a corresponding decrease
to the carrying value of the 6.25% Senior Subordinated Notes.
NOTE H TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION
The Company continuously sells a designated pool of trade receivables to a third-party
qualified special purpose entity, which in turn sells an undivided ownership interest to a conduit,
administered by an unaffiliated financial institution. In addition to this financial institution,
the Company participates in the securitization agreement as an investor in the conduit. The Company
continues to service, administer and collect the receivables on behalf of the special purpose
entity. The Company pays annual facility and commitment fees ranging from 0.16% to 0.40% (averaging
approximately 0.25%) for unused amounts and an additional program fee of 0.10% on outstanding
amounts. The securitization agreement allows the operating subsidiaries participating in the
securitization program to receive a cash payment for sold receivables, less a deferred purchase
price receivable. The Companys share of the total investment varies depending on certain criteria,
mainly the collection performance on the sold receivables.
As of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007, approximately $537.7 million and $427.7 million of the
Companys accounts receivable, respectively, had been sold to the third-party qualified special
purpose entity described above, which represent the face amount of the total outstanding trade
receivables on all designated customer accounts on those dates. The Company received net cash
proceeds of approximately $416.4 million and $334.0 million from the unaffiliated financial
institutions for the sale of these receivables as of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007,
respectively. The Company has a recourse obligation that is limited to the deferred purchase price
receivable, which approximates 5% of the total sold receivables, and its own investment
participation, the total of which was approximately $121.3 million and $93.7 million as of June 29,
2007 and March 31, 2007, respectively. The Company also sold accounts receivables to certain
third-party banking institutions with limited recourse, which management believes is nominal. The
outstanding balance of receivables sold and not yet collected was approximately $443.5 million and
$398.7 million as of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007, respectively.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (SFAS 140), the
accounts receivable balances that were sold were removed from the condensed consolidated balance
sheets and are reflected as cash provided by operating activities in the condensed consolidated
statement of cash flows.
NOTE I RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
In recent years, the Company has initiated a series of restructuring activities intended
to realign the Companys global capacity and infrastructure with demand by its OEM customers so as
to optimize the operational efficiency, which include reducing excess workforce and capacity, and
consolidating and relocating certain manufacturing and administrative facilities to lower-cost
regions.
The restructuring costs include employee severance, costs related to leased facilities,
owned facilities that are no longer in use and are to be disposed of, leased equipment that is no
longer in use and will be disposed of, and other costs associated with the exit of certain
contractual agreements due to facility closures. The overall impact of these activities is that the
Company shifts its manufacturing capacity to locations with higher efficiencies and, in most
17
instances, lower costs, and better utilizes its overall existing manufacturing capacity. This
enhances the Companys ability to provide cost-effective manufacturing service offerings, which
enables it to retain and expand the Companys existing relationships with customers and attract new
business.
As of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007, assets that were no longer in use and held for sale as
a result of restructuring activities totaled approximately $15.9 million and $24.2 million,
respectively, primarily representing manufacturing facilities located in the Americas that have
been closed as part of the Companys historical facility consolidations. For assets held for sale,
depreciation ceases and an impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset
exceeds its fair value less cost to sell. Assets held for sale are included in other current assets
and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Fiscal Year 2008
The Company recognized restructuring charges of approximately $10.7 million during the
three-month period ended June 29, 2007 for employee termination costs associated with the
involuntary termination of 173 identified employees in Europe. The activities associated with these
charges will be substantially completed within one year of the commitment dates of the respective
activities. The Company classified approximately $9.8 million of these charges as a component of
cost of sales during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007.

balance as of June 29, 2007 for charges incurred in fiscal year 2008 and prior periods:

Fiscal Year 2007
During fiscal year 2007, the Company recognized charges of approximately $151.9 million
associated with the consolidation and closure of several manufacturing facilities including the
related impairment of certain long-lived assets; and other charges primarily related to the exit of
certain real estate owned and leased by the Company in order to reduce its investment in property,
plant and equipment. The Company classified approximately $146.8 million of these charges as a
component of cost of sales during fiscal year 2007. The Company did not recognize any of these
restructuring charges during the three-month period ended June 30, 2006. The activities
associated with these charges will be substantially completed within one year of the
commitment dates of the respective activities, except for certain long-term contractual
obligations.

During fiscal year 2007, the Company recognized approximately $26.3 million of employee
termination costs associated with the involuntary termination of 2,155 identified employees in
connection with the charges described above. The identified involuntary employee terminations by
reportable geographic region amounted to approximately 1,560, 550 and 40 for Asia, Europe, and the
Americas, respectively. Approximately $22.1 million was classified as a component of cost of sales.
During fiscal year 2007, the Company recognized approximately $64.4 million for the write-down
of property and equipment to managements estimate of fair value associated with the planned
disposal and exit of certain real estate owned and leased by the Company. Approximately $63.8
million of this amount was classified as a component of cost of sales. The charges recognized
during fiscal year 2007 also included approximately $61.2 million for other exit costs, of which
$60.9 million was classified as a component of cost of sales and were primarily comprised of
contractual obligations amounting to approximately $27.1 million, customer disengagement costs of
approximately $28.5 million and approximately $5.6 million of other costs.
For further discussion of the Companys historical restructuring activities, refer to Note 10
Restructuring Charges to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companys 2007 Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
NOTE J OTHER INCOME, NET
During the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 the Company recognized a gain of
approximately $9.3 million in connection with the divestiture of a certain international entity,
which was primarily related to the realization of cumulative foreign exchange translation gains.
The results of operations for this entity were not significant for all periods presented.

NOTE K COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary
course of business. The Company defends itself vigorously against any such claims. Although the
outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, management does not expect that the
ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on its condensed
consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
On June 4, 2007, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Solectron in a
cash and stock transaction preliminarily valued at $3.7 billion, including estimated transaction
related costs. Refer to the discussion of the Companys definitive agreement with Solectron in
Note L, Acquisitions and Divestitures.
NOTE L ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
Solectron Acquisition
On June 4, 2007, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger
Agreement) with Solectron Corporation (Solectron), pursuant to which the Company will acquire
Solectron. If the merger is completed, Solectron stockholders will be entitled to receive, for
each share of Solectron common stock they own and at the election of the stockholder, either: (i)
0.3450 of a Flextronics ordinary share, or (ii) a cash payment of $3.89, without interest. As
further described in the joint proxy statement/prospectus, which forms a part of a registration
statement on Form S-4/A filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on
August 7, 2007, the Merger Agreement provides that, regardless of the elections made by Solectron
stockholders, no more than 70% of Solectrons outstanding shares of common stock (including the
outstanding exchangeable shares of Solectron Global Services Canada Inc.) can be converted into the
Companys ordinary shares, and no more than 50% of Solectrons outstanding shares of common stock
(including the outstanding exchangeable shares of Solectron Global Services Canada Inc.) can be
converted into cash. Therefore, the cash and stock elections made by Solectron stockholders may be
subject to pro-ration based on these limits. As a result, Solectron stockholders that have elected
to receive either cash or Flextronics ordinary shares could in certain circumstances receive a
combination of both cash and ordinary shares of the Company. Additionally, the Company would also
assume each outstanding option to purchase Solectron common stock with an exercise price equal to
or less than $5.00, whether or not exercisable.
The transaction will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The total
preliminary estimated purchase price is approximately $3.7 billion, including estimated transaction
costs, comprised primarily of the Companys ordinary shares, cash, direct transaction costs and
assumed vested stock options. The Company currently estimates that the acquisition of Solectron
could require up to $1.9 billion for funding the cash portion of the merger, including acquisition
and financing related costs, assuming holders of 50% of Solectrons outstanding shares elect to
receive cash. While the Company continues to evaluate alternative long-term financing
arrangements, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. has committed to provide the Company with a $2.5
billion seven-year senior unsecured term loan to fund the cash requirements for this transaction
(including the refinancing of Solectrons debt, if required). The merger is not conditioned on
receipt of financing by the Company.
The acquisition cannot be completed unless the Companys shareholders approve the issuance of
Flextronics ordinary shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement and Solectrons stockholders adopt the
Merger Agreement, each at their respective stockholders meetings. The completion of the merger is
also subject to the satisfaction or waiver of other conditions that are contained in the Merger
Agreement, including regulatory approvals. The acquisition is expected to close in the quarter
ended December 31, 2007. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the
Company and Solectron, and further provides for payment of a termination fee of $100.0 million by
either Solectron or the Company upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified
circumstances.
Acquisitions
The business and asset acquisitions described below were accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting, and accordingly, the fair value of the net assets acquired and the results of
the acquired businesses were included in the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements
from the acquisition dates forward. The
Company has not finalized the allocation of the consideration for certain of its recently
completed acquisitions and
20
expects to complete these valuations within one year of the respective
acquisition date.
Nortel
On June 29, 2004, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Nortel providing
for the Companys purchase of certain of Nortels optical, wireless, wireline and enterprise
manufacturing operations and optical design operations. The purchase of these assets has occurred
in stages, with the final stage of the asset purchase occurring in May 2006 as the Company
completed the acquisition of the manufacturing system house operations in Calgary, Canada.
Flextronics provides the majority of Nortels systems integration activities, final assembly,
testing and repair operations, along with the management of the related supply chain and suppliers,
under a four-year manufacturing agreement. Additionally, Flextronics provides Nortel with design
services for end-to-end, carrier grade optical network products.
The aggregate purchase price for the assets acquired, net of closing costs, was approximately
$594.4 million, of which no amount was paid in the three-month period ended June 29, 2007, as there
were no further amounts due Nortel under the asset purchase agreement. Approximately $70.0 million
was paid during the three-month period ended June 30, 2006. The allocation of the purchase price
to specific assets and liabilities was based upon managements estimates of cash flow and
recoverability and was approximately $340.2 million to inventory, $40.8 million to fixed assets and
other, and $118.5 million to current and non-current liabilities with the remaining amounts being
allocated to intangible assets, including goodwill. The purchases have resulted in purchased
intangible assets of approximately $49.4 million, primarily related to customer relationships and
contractual agreements with weighted-average useful lives of 8 years, and goodwill of approximately
$282.5 million. On October 13, 2006, the Company entered into an amendment (Nortel Amendment) to
the various agreements with Nortel to expand Nortels obligation for reimbursement for certain
costs associated with the transaction. The allocation of the purchase price to specific assets and
liabilities is subject to adjustment based on the nature of the costs that are contingently
reimbursable under the Nortel Amendment through fiscal year 2008. The contingent reimbursement has
not been recorded as part of the purchase price, pending the outcome of the contingency.
International DisplayWorks, Inc. (IDW)
On November 30, 2006, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common
stock of IDW in a stock-for-stock merger for total purchase consideration of approximately $299.6
million. The allocation of the purchase price to specific assets and liabilities was based upon
managements estimate of cash flow and recoverability. As of June 29, 2007, management estimates
the allocation to be approximately $105.8 million to current assets, primarily comprised of cash
and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable and inventory, approximately $30.6
million to fixed assets, and approximately $61.0 million to assumed liabilities, primarily accounts
payable and other current liabilities, with the remaining amounts allocated to intangible assets,
including goodwill. The purchases have resulted in purchased intangible assets of approximately
$29.0 million, primarily related to customer relationships and contractual agreements with
weighted-average useful lives of 8 years, and goodwill of approximately $195.2 million. The
allocation of the purchase price to specific assets and liabilities, including intangible assets
and goodwill, is subject to final purchase price adjustments.
Pro forma results for the Companys acquisitions of Nortels operations in Calgary, Canada,
and IDW have not been presented for the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006
as such results were not materially different from the Companys actual results.
Other Acquisitions
Comparative pro forma information for the acquisitions described below has not been presented,
as the results of operations were not material to the Companys condensed consolidated financial
statements on either an individual or an aggregate basis.
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2006, the Company completed one acquisition that
was not significant to the Companys condensed consolidated results for continuing operations and
financial position. The
acquired business complements the Companys design and manufacturing of test equipment for the
industrial market
21
segment. The aggregate purchase price for this acquisition totaled approximately
$25.5 million, which was financed with a 90 day seller note and subsequently paid during September
2007 quarter. The Company also paid $15.7 million for the purchase of an additional 3% incremental
ownership of Flextronics Software Systems Limited (FSS), which was subsequently sold with the
Companys Software Development and Solutions Business. Accordingly, the results of operations of
FSS are reflected in discontinued operations. In addition, the Company paid approximately $5.0
million in cash for contingent purchase price adjustments relating to certain historical
acquisitions, all of which were attributable to discontinued operations. Identifiable intangible
assets, primarily related to customer relationships and contractual agreements with
weighted-average useful lives of 7 years, and goodwill, resulting from these transactions as well
as from purchase price adjustments for certain historical acquisitions, were approximately $2.0
million and $17.5 million, respectively. All of the goodwill was attributable to discontinued
operations. The purchase price for these acquisitions has been allocated on the basis of the
estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price for
acquisitions attributable to continuing operations is subject to adjustments for contingent
consideration, based upon the businesses achieving specified levels of earnings through January
2008. Generally, the contingent consideration has not been recorded as part of the purchase price,
pending the outcome of the contingency.
NOTE M DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Consistent with its strategy to evaluate the strategic and financial contributions of each of
its operations and to focus on the primary growth objectives in the Companys core EMS
vertically-integrated business activities, the Company divested its Software Development and
Solutions business in September 2006. In conjunction with the divestiture of the Software
Development and Solutions business, the Company retained a 15% equity interest in the divested
business. As the Company does not have the ability to significantly influence the operating
decisions of the divested business, the cost method of accounting for the investment is used.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144), the divestiture of the Software
Development and Solutions business qualifies as discontinued operations, and accordingly, the
Company has reported the results of operations and financial position of this business in
discontinued operations within the statements of operations for the three-month period ended June
30, 2006. As the divestiture of the Companys Software Development and Solutions business was
completed in September 2006, there were no results from discontinued operations for the three-month
period ended June 29, 2007, or assets or liabilities attributable to discontinued operations as of
June 29, 2007 or March 31, 2007.

OVERVIEW
We are a leading provider of advanced design and electronics manufacturing services (EMS) to
original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of a broad range of products in the following markets:
computing; mobile communication devices; consumer digital devices; telecommunications
infrastructure; industrial, semiconductor and white goods; automotive, marine and aerospace; and
medical devices. We provide a full range of vertically-integrated global supply chain services
through which we design, build, and ship a complete packaged product for our customers. Customers
leverage our services to meet their product requirements throughout the entire product life cycle.
Our vertically-integrated service offerings include: design services; rigid printed circuit board
and flexible circuit fabrication; systems assembly and manufacturing; logistics; after-sales
services; and multiple component product offerings.
We are one of the worlds largest EMS providers, with revenues from continuing operations of
$5.2 billion during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007, and $18.9 billion in fiscal year
2007. As of March 31, 2007, our total manufacturing capacity was approximately 17.7 million square
feet in over 30 countries across four continents. We have established an extensive network of
manufacturing facilities in the worlds major electronics markets (Asia, the Americas and Europe)
in order to serve the growing outsourcing needs of both multinational and regional OEMs. For the
three-month period ended June 29, 2007, our net sales from continuing operations in Asia, the
Americas and Europe represented approximately 59%, 25% and 16%, respectively, of our total net
sales from continuing operations.
We believe that the combination of our extensive design and engineering services, global
presence, vertically-integrated end-to-end services, advanced supply chain management, industrial
campuses in low-cost geographic areas, operational track record as well as depth in management
provide us with a competitive advantage in the market for designing and manufacturing electronics
products for leading multinational OEMs. Through these services and facilities, we simplify the
global product development and manufacturing process and provide meaningful time-to-market and cost
savings for our OEM customers.
The EMS industry has experienced rapid change and growth over the past decade. The demand for
advanced manufacturing capabilities and related supply chain management services continues to
escalate as an increasing number of OEMs have outsourced some or all of their design and
manufacturing requirements. Price pressure on our customers products in their end markets has led
to increased demand for EMS production capacity in the lower-cost regions of the world, such as
China, India, Malaysia, Mexico, and Eastern Europe, where we have a significant presence. We have
responded by making strategic decisions to realign our global capacity and infrastructure with the
demands of our customers to optimize the operating efficiencies that can be provided by our global
presence. The overall impact of these activities is that we have shifted our manufacturing capacity
to locations with higher efficiencies and, in most instances, lower costs, thereby enhancing our
ability to provide cost-effective
23
manufacturing service in order for us to retain and expand our existing relationships with
customers and attract new business. As a result, we have recognized a significant amount of
restructuring charges in connection with the realignment of our global capacity and infrastructure.
Our operating results are affected by a number of factors, including the following:
|
|
|
our customers may not be successful in marketing their products, their products may not
gain widespread commercial acceptance, and our customers products have short product life
cycles; |
|
|
|
|
our customers may cancel or delay orders or change production quantities; |
|
|
|
|
integration of acquired businesses and facilities; |
|
|
|
|
our operating results vary significantly from period to period due to the mix of the
manufacturing services we are providing, the number and size of new manufacturing programs,
the degree to which we utilize our manufacturing capacity, seasonal demand, shortages of
components and other factors; |
|
|
|
|
our increased design services and components offerings may reduce our profitability as
we are required to make substantial investments in the resources necessary to design and
develop these products without guarantee of cost recovery and margin generation; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to achieve commercially viable production yields and to manufacture
components in commercial quantities to the performance specifications demanded by our OEM
customers; and |
|
|
|
|
managing growth and changes in our operations. |
We have actively pursued acquisitions and purchases of manufacturing facilities, design and
engineering resources and technologies in order to expand our worldwide operations, broaden our
service offerings, diversify and strengthen our customer relationships, and enhance our competitive
position as a leading provider of comprehensive outsourcing solutions. On June 4, 2007, we entered
into an agreement and plan of merger with Solectron Corporation (Solectron), pursuant to which we
will acquire Solectron in a stock and cash transaction with a preliminary estimated value of
approximately $3.7 billion, including estimated transaction costs. While we continue to evaluate
alternative long-term financing arrangements, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. has committed to
provide the Company with a $2.5 billion seven-year senior unsecured term loan to fund the cash
requirements for this transaction (including the refinancing of Solectrons debt, if required).
For further discussion regarding the specific terms of the transaction, associated risks and
conditions to closing, refer to Note L Acquisitions and Divestitures to our condensed
consolidated financial statements, and our joint proxy statement/prospectus, which forms a part of
a registration statement on Form S-4/A filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) on August 7, 2007.
The acquisition cannot be completed unless our shareholders approve the issuance of
Flextronics ordinary shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement and Solectrons stockholders adopt the
Merger Agreement, each at their respective stockholder meetings. The completion of the merger is
also subject to the satisfaction or waiver of other conditions that are contained in the Merger
Agreement, including regulatory approvals. The acquisition is expected to close in the quarter
ended December 31, 2007.
If we complete the acquisition of Solectron, our operating results also will be affected by
integration and restructuring activities related to the acquisition.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments
and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. For
further discussion of our significant accounting policies, refer to Note 2, Summary of Accounting
Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 and the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
in this report on Form 10-Q.
24
Revenue Recognition
We recognize manufacturing revenue when we ship goods or the goods are received by our
customer, title and risk of ownership have passed, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable
and recoverability is reasonably assured. Generally, there are no formal customer acceptance
requirements or further obligations related to manufacturing services. If such requirements or
obligations exist, then we recognize the related revenues at the time when such requirements are
completed and the obligations are fulfilled. We make provisions for estimated sales returns and
other adjustments at the time revenue is recognized based upon contractual terms and an analysis of
historical returns. These provisions were not material to our condensed consolidated financial
statements for the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006.
We provide a comprehensive suite of services for our customers that range from contract design
services to original product design to repair services. We recognize service revenue when the
services have been performed, and the related costs are expensed as incurred. Our net sales for
services from continuing operations were less than 10% of our total sales from continuing
operations during the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, and accordingly,
are included in net sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123
(Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)). Under the fair value recognition provisions
of SFAS 123(R), stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value
of the award and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period of the award.
Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of stock-based awards
at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating stock price volatility and expected
option life. If actual forfeitures or expectations regarding the Companys achievement of certain
performance goals when vesting is contingent upon both a service and performance condition differ
significantly from our estimates, adjustments to compensation cost may be required in future
periods.
Restructuring Costs
We recognize restructuring charges related to our plans to close or consolidate duplicate
manufacturing and administrative facilities. In connection with these activities, we recognize
restructuring charges for employee termination costs, long-lived asset impairment and other
restructuring-related costs.
The recognition of the restructuring charges require that we make certain judgments and
estimates regarding the nature, timing and amount of costs associated with the planned exit
activity. To the extent our actual results in exiting these facilities differ from our estimates
and assumptions, we may be required to revise the estimates of future liabilities, requiring the
recognition of additional restructuring charges or the reduction of liabilities already recognized.
At the end of each reporting period, we evaluate the remaining accrued balances to ensure that no
excess accruals are retained and the utilization of the provisions are for their intended purpose
in accordance with developed exit plans.
Refer to Note I, Restructuring Charges, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements for further discussion of our restructuring activities.
Income Taxes
Our deferred income tax assets represent temporary differences between the carrying amount and
the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities which will result in deductible amounts in future
years, including net operating loss carryforwards. Based on estimates, the carrying value of our
net deferred tax assets assumes that it is more-likely-than-not that we will be able to generate
sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions to realize these deferred income tax
assets. Our judgments regarding future profitability may change due to future market conditions,
changes in U.S. or international tax laws and other factors. If these estimates and related
assumptions change in the future, we may be required to increase or decrease our valuation
allowance against deferred tax assets previously recognized, resulting in additional or lesser
income tax expense.
25
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes (FIN 48) as an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes
(SFAS 109), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized by
prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and
also provides guidance on de-recognition of tax benefits previously recognized. We adopted FIN 48
in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, and did not recognize any adjustments to our liability
for unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the implementation of FIN 48.
Our unrecognized tax benefits are subject to change over the next twelve months primarily as a
result of the expiration of certain statutes of limitations. Although the amount of these
adjustments cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, we are not currently aware of any material
impact on our condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers financial condition and make
provisions for doubtful accounts based on the outcome of our credit evaluations. We evaluate the
collectibility of our accounts receivable based on specific customer circumstances, current
economic trends, historical experience with collections and the age of past due receivables.
Unanticipated changes in the liquidity or financial position of our customers may require
additional provisions for doubtful accounts.
Inventory Valuation
Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or market
value. Our industry is characterized by rapid technological change, short-term customer commitments
and rapid changes in demand. We make provisions for estimated excess and obsolete inventory based
on our regular reviews of inventory quantities on hand and the latest forecasts of product demand
and production requirements from our customers. If actual market conditions or our customers
product demands are less favorable than those projected, additional provisions may be required. In
addition, unanticipated changes in the liquidity or financial position of our customers and/or
changes in economic conditions may require additional provisions for inventories due to our
customers inability to fulfill their contractual obligations with regard to inventory procured to
fulfill customer demand.
Purchase Accounting
We have actively pursued business and asset acquisitions, which are accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting. The fair value of the net assets acquired and the results of the
acquired businesses are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements from the
acquisition dates forward. Under the purchase method of accounting we are required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and results of
operations during the reporting period. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things,
the fair value of acquired net operating assets, property and equipment, intangible assets and
related deferred tax liabilities, useful lives of plant and equipment and amortizable lives for
acquired intangible assets. Any excess of the purchase consideration over the identified fair
value of the assets and liabilities acquired is recognized as goodwill. Additionally, we may be
required to recognize liabilities for anticipated restructuring costs that will be necessary due to
the elimination of excess capacity, redundant assets or unnecessary functions. Certain liabilities
associated with these restructuring activities are recorded as liabilities assumed in the
acquisition with a corresponding increase in goodwill and no impact on operating results.
We estimate the preliminary fair value of acquired assets and liabilities as of the date of
acquisition based on information available at that time and other estimates that management
believes are reasonable. The valuation of these tangible and identifiable intangible assets and
liabilities is subject to further management review and may change materially between the
preliminary allocation and end of the purchase price allocation period. Any changes in these
estimates may have a material impact on our condensed consolidated operating results or financial
condition.
26
Long-Lived Assets
We review property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is
recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. Recoverability of
property and equipment is measured by comparing its carrying amount to the projected cash flows the
property and equipment are expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment loss recognized, if any, is the amount by which the carrying amount of the property and
equipment exceeds the projected discounted cash flows the property and equipment are expected to
generate.
We evaluate goodwill for impairment on an annual basis. We also evaluate goodwill and other
intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of goodwill is
measured at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting units carrying amount, including
goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit
exceeds its fair value, the amount of impairment loss recognized, if any, is measured using a
discounted cash flow analysis. If, at the time of our annual evaluation, the net asset value (or
book value) of any reporting unit is greater than its fair value, some or all of the related
goodwill would likely be considered to be impaired. Further, to the extent the carrying value of
the Company as a whole is greater than its market capitalization, all, or a significant portion of
our goodwill may be considered impaired. To date, we have not recognized any impairment of our
goodwill and other intangible assets in connection with our impairment evaluations. However, we
have recognized impairment charges in connection with our restructuring activities.
Long-term Investments
We have certain investments in, and notes receivable from, non-publicly traded companies,
which are included within other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Non-majority-owned
investments are accounted for using the equity method when we have an ownership percentage equal to
or greater than 20%, or have the ability to significantly influence the operating decisions of the
issuer; otherwise the cost method is used. We monitor these investments for impairment and make
appropriate reductions in carrying values if we determine an impairment charge is required, based
primarily on the financial condition and prospects of these companies. Our ongoing consideration of
these factors could result in additional impairment charges in the future, which could adversely
affect our results of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial
Assets (SFAS 156), which amends SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial
Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. SFAS 156 requires recognition of a servicing asset or
liability at fair value each time an obligation is undertaken to service a financial asset by
entering into a servicing contract. SFAS 156 also provides guidance on subsequent measurement
methods for each class of servicing assets and liabilities and specifies financial statement
presentation and disclosure requirements. SFAS 156 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
September 15, 2006 and was adopted by us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. The adoption of
SFAS 156 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes (FIN 48) as an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes
(SFAS 109). This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
recognized by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial
statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax
return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition of tax benefits previously
recognized and additional disclosures for unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties. The
evaluation of a tax position in accordance with this Interpretation begins with a determination as
to whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based
on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not
recognition threshold is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50
percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement for recognition in the financial
statements. FIN 48 is effective no later than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and
was adopted by us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008.
27
We did not recognize any adjustments to our liability for unrecognized tax benefits as a
result of the implementation of FIN 48 other than to reclassify
$65.0 million from other current liabilities
to other liabilities as required by the Interpretation. As of April 1, 2007, we had approximately
$66.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits, substantially all of which, if recognized, would affect
our tax expense. Our unrecognized tax benefits are subject to change over the next twelve months
primarily as a result of the expiration of certain statutes of limitations. Although the amount of
these adjustments cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, we are not currently aware of any
material impact on our condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
The Company and its subsidiaries file federal, state and local income tax returns in multiple
jurisdictions around the world. With a few exceptions, we are no longer subject to income tax
examinations by tax authorities for years before 2000.
We have elected to include estimated interest and penalties on our tax liabilities as a
component of tax expense. Estimated interest and penalties recognized in the condensed
consolidated balance sheet and condensed consolidated statement of operations were not significant.

Net Sales
Net sales during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 totaled $5.2 billion, representing
an increase of $1.1 billion, or 27.0%, from $4.1 billion during the three-month period ended June
30, 2006, primarily due to new program wins from various customers across multiple markets. Sales
increased across the following markets we serve; (i) $437.8 million in the telecommunications
infrastructure market, (ii) $382.4 million in the mobile communications market, (iii) $183.7
million in the consumer digital market, and (iv) $160.9 million in the industrial, medical,
automotive and other markets, and was offset by a decrease of $66.9 million in the computing
market. Net sales during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 increased by $663.3 million,
$365.4 million and $69.2
million in Asia, the Americas and Europe, respectively.
28
Our ten largest customers during the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006
accounted for approximately 62% and 66% of net sales, respectively, with Sony-Ericsson accounting
for greater than 10% of our net sales during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 and
Sony-Ericsson, Hewlett-Packard and Nortel each accounting for greater than 10% of our net sales
during the three-month period ended June 30, 2006.
Gross Profit
Gross profit is affected by a number of factors, including the number and size of new
manufacturing programs, product mix, component costs and availability, product life cycles, unit
volumes, pricing, competition, new product introductions, capacity utilization and the expansion
and consolidation of manufacturing facilities. Typically, profitability lags revenue growth in new
programs due to product start-up costs, lower manufacturing program volumes in the start-up phase,
operational inefficiencies, and under-absorbed overhead. Gross margin often improves over time as
manufacturing program volumes increase, as our utilization rates and overhead absorption improves,
and as we increase the level of vertically-integrated manufacturing services content. As a result,
our gross margin varies from period to period.
Gross profit during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 increased $44.8 million to
$280.8 million, or 5.4% of net sales, from $236.0 million, or 5.8% of net sales, during the
three-month period ended June 30, 2006. The 40 basis point period-over-period decrease in gross
margin was primarily attributable to a 20 basis point increase in cost of sales related to higher
volume, lower margin customer programs, and higher start-up and integration costs associated with
multiple new large scale programs, and 20 basis points for restructuring charges incurred during
the three-month period ended June 29, 2007.
Restructuring Charges
In recent years, we have initiated a series of restructuring activities which are intended to
realign our global capacity and infrastructure with demand by our OEM customers and thereby improve
our operational efficiency. These activities included:
|
|
|
reducing excess workforce and capacity; |
|
|
|
consolidating and relocating certain manufacturing facilities to lower-cost regions; and |
|
|
|
consolidating and relocating certain administrative facilities. |
These restructuring costs include employee severance, costs related to owned and leased
facilities and equipment that are no longer in use and are to be disposed of, and other costs
associated with the exit of certain contractual agreements due to facility closures. The overall
impact of these activities is that we shift our manufacturing capacity to locations with higher
efficiencies and, in most instances, lower costs, and better utilize our overall existing
manufacturing capacity. This enhances our ability to provide cost-effective manufacturing service
offerings, which enables us to retain and expand our existing relationships with customers and
attract new business. We may utilize similar measures in the future to realign our operations
relative to changing customer demand, which may materially affect our results of operations in the
future. We believe that the potential savings in cost of goods sold achieved through lower
depreciation and reduced employee expenses as a result of our restructurings will be offset in part
by reduced revenues at the affected facilities.
During the three-month period ended June 29, 2007, we recognized restructuring charges of
approximately $10.7 million for involuntary employee terminations in Europe. Approximately $9.8
million of the charges were classified as a component of cost of sales. As of June 29, 2007,
accrued employee termination and facility closure costs related to restructuring charges incurred
during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 and prior were approximately $67.1 million, of
which approximately $21.6 million was classified as a long-term obligation.
We did not recognize any restructuring charges during the three-month period ended June 30,
2006.
Refer to Note I, Restructuring Charges, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements for further discussion of our historical restructuring activities.
29
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Our selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, amounted to $146.6 million, or 2.8%
of net sales, during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007, compared to $119.1 million, or
2.9% of net sales, during the three-month period ended June 30, 2006. The increase in SG&A during
the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 was attributable to our business and asset acquisitions
during the 2007 fiscal year, continued investments in resources necessary to support our
accelerating revenue growth as well as investments in certain technical capabilities to enhance our
overall design and engineering competencies. The improvement in SG&A as a percentage of
net sales during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 was primarily attributable to higher
net sales.
Intangible Amortization
Amortization of intangible assets during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 increased
by $9.5 million to $16.7 million from $7.2 million during the three-month period ended June 30,
2006. The increase in expense during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 was attributable
to the amortization of intangible assets acquired over the 12 months ended June 29, 2007, which
were primarily related to our acquisitions of Nortels system house operations in Calgary, Canada,
IDW and other smaller businesses that were not individually significant to our condensed
consolidated results.
Other Income, Net
During the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 we recognized a gain of approximately $9.3
million in connection with the divestiture of a certain international entity, which was primarily
related to the realization of cumulative foreign exchange translation gains.
Interest and Other Expense, Net
Interest and other expense, net was $15.6 million during the three-month period ended June 29,
2007 compared to $29.2 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of
$13.6 million. The decrease in expense is primarily the result of interest and other income earned
on our $250.0 million face value promissory note and certain other agreements received in
connection with the divestiture of our Software Development and Solutions business during the
second quarter of fiscal year 2007.
Income Taxes
Certain of our subsidiaries have, at various times, been granted tax relief in their
respective countries, resulting in lower income taxes than would otherwise be the case under
ordinary tax rates. Refer to Note 8, Income Taxes, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 for further
discussion.
Our consolidated effective tax rate was an expense of 3.1% and 5.9% during the three-month
periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively.
The consolidated effective tax rate for a particular period varies depending on the amount of
earnings from different jurisdictions, operating loss carryforwards, income tax credits, changes in
previously established valuation allowances for deferred tax assets based upon our current analysis
of the realizability of these deferred tax assets, as well as certain tax holidays and incentives
granted to our subsidiaries primarily in China, Hungary, and Malaysia.
In evaluating the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider our recent history of
operating income and losses by jurisdiction, exclusive of items that we believe are non-recurring
in nature such as restructuring charges. We also consider the future projected operating income in
the relevant jurisdiction and the effect of any tax planning strategies. Based on this analysis, we
believe that the current valuation allowance is adequate.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes (FIN 48) as an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes
(SFAS 109), which clarifies the
30
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized by prescribing a recognition threshold
and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides guidance on de-recognition of tax
benefits previously recognized. We adopted FIN 48 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008.
We did not recognize any adjustments to our liability for unrecognized tax benefits as a
result of the implementation of FIN 48. As of April 1, 2007, we had approximately $66.0 million of
unrecognized tax benefits, substantially all of which, if recognized, would affect our tax expense.
Our unrecognized tax benefits are subject to change over the next twelve months primarily as a
result of the expiration of certain statutes of limitations. Although the amount of these
adjustments cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, we are not currently aware of any material
impact on our condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
Discontinued Operations
Consistent with our strategy to evaluate the strategic and financial contributions of each of
our operations and to focus on the primary growth objectives in our core EMS vertically-integrated
business activities, we divested our Software Development and Solutions business in September 2006.
Additional information regarding our discontinued operations is provided in Item 7, Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on
our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144), the divestiture of our Software
Development and Solutions business qualifies as discontinued operations, and accordingly, we have
reported the results of operations and financial position of this business in discontinued
operations within the statements of operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006. As
the divestiture of our Software Development and Solutions business was completed in September 2006,
there were no results from discontinued operations for the three-month period ended June 29, 2007.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES CONTINUING AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
As of June 29, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of $770.0 million and bank and other
borrowings of $1.5 billion. As discussed in Note F, Bank Borrowings and Long-Term Debt, of the
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, on May 10, 2007, we replaced our $1.35
billion revolving credit facility with a new $2.0 billion credit facility, under which we had no
borrowings outstanding as of June 29, 2007. The $2.0 billion credit facility and our other various
credit facilities are subject to compliance with certain financial covenants. As of June 29, 2007,
we were in compliance with the financial covenants under our indentures and credit facilities.
Working capital as of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007 was
approximately $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively.
Cash provided by operating activities amounted to $144.6 million during the three-month period
ended June 29, 2007, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $97.9 million during the
three-month period ended June 30, 2006.
During the three-month period ended June 29, 2007, the following items generated cash from
operating activities either directly or as a non-cash adjustment to net income:
31
|
|
|
net income of $106.9 million; |
|
|
|
|
depreciation and amortization of $87.7 million; |
|
|
|
|
non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $8.7 million; |

|
an increase in other current and non-current assets of $136.2 million. |
The increases in our working capital accounts were due primarily to increased overall business
activity and in anticipation of continued growth.
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2006, the following items generated cash from
operating activities either directly or as a non-cash adjustment to net income:
|
|

operating activities either directly or as a non-cash adjustment to net income:
|
|
|
an increase in accounts receivable of $247.2 million; |
|
|
|
|
an increase in inventories of $326.8 million; and |
|
|
|
|
an increase in other current and non-current assets of $21.5 million. |
The increases in our working capital accounts were due primarily to increased overall business
activity and in anticipation of continued growth in the September 2006 quarter.
Cash used in investing activities amounted to $91.8 million and $167.6 million during the
three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively.
Cash used in investing activities during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 primarily
related to the following:
|
|
|
net capital expenditures of $71.9 million for the purchase of equipment and for the
continued expansion of various low-cost, high-volume manufacturing facilities and industrial
parks, as well as for the continued investment in our printed circuit board operations and
components business; and |
|
|
|
|
$25.4 million of miscellaneous investments primarily related to participation in our
trade receivables securitization program. |
32
Cash provided by investing activities during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007
primarily related to the
following:
|
|
|
proceeds of $5.5 million from the divestiture of a certain international entity. |
Cash used in investing activities during the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 primarily
related to the following:
|

|
|
|
|
payments for the acquisition of businesses of $90.9 million, including $70.2 million
associated with our Nortel transaction, $15.7 million for additional shares purchased in
Hughes Software Systems and $5.0 million for various other acquisitions of businesses, net
of cash acquired, and contingent purchase price adjustments relating to certain historic
acquisitions. |
Cash used in financing activities amounted to $2.2 million during the three-month period ended
June 29, 2007, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $215.7 million during the
three-month period ended June 30, 2006.
Cash used in financing activities during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 primarily
related to the following:
|
|
|
net repayment of bank borrowings and capital lease obligations amounting to $5.2 million. |
Cash provided by financing activities during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007
primarily related to the following:
|
|
|
$3.0 million of proceeds from the sale of ordinary shares under our employee stock plans. |
Cash provided by financing activities during the three-month period ended June 30, 2006
primarily related to the following:
|
|
|
net proceeds from bank borrowings and long-term debt of $212.7 million; and |
|
|
|
|
$3.0 million of proceeds from the sale of ordinary shares under our employee stock plans. |
Our liquidity is affected by many factors, some of which are based on normal ongoing
operations of our business and some of which arise from fluctuations related to global economics
and markets. Our cash balances are generated and held in many locations throughout the world. Local
government regulations may restrict our ability to move cash balances to meet cash needs under
certain circumstances. We do not currently expect such regulations and restrictions to impact our
ability to pay vendors and conduct operations throughout our global organization.
Working capital requirements and capital expenditures could continue to increase in order to
support future expansions of our operations. Future liquidity needs will also depend on
fluctuations in levels of inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable, the timing of
capital expenditures for new equipment, the extent to which we utilize operating leases for new
facilities and equipment, the extent of cash charges associated with any future restructuring
activities and levels of shipments and changes in volumes of customer orders.
Historically, we have funded our operations from cash and cash equivalents generated from
operations, proceeds from public offerings of equity and debt securities, bank debt and lease
financings. We also continuously sell a designated pool of trade receivables to a third-party
qualified special purpose entity, which in turn sells an undivided ownership interest to a conduit,
administered by an unaffiliated financial institution. In addition to this financial institution,
we participate in the securitization agreement as an investor in the conduit.
33
We believe that our existing cash balances, together with anticipated cash flows from
operations and borrowings
available under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund our operations through at
least the next twelve months.
It is possible that future acquisitions may be significant and may require the payment of
cash. For example, we estimate that our acquisition of Solectron could require up to approximately
$1.9 billion for funding the cash portion of the merger consideration, including acquisition and
financing related costs, assuming holders of 50% of Solectrons outstanding shares elect to receive
cash. Additionally, we expect to incur significant costs during the year commencing with the
closing of the acquisition relating to restructuring and integration activities centered around
global footprint rationalization and elimination of redundant assets or unnecessary functions,
including retention bonuses, that may require material cash expenditures. We currently have a $2.0
billion credit facility, and simultaneous with execution of the merger agreement, the Company and
Citigroup agreed to the terms of a commitment letter pursuant to which Citigroup has committed to
provide Flextronics with a seven-year, senior unsecured term loan facility of up to $2.5 billion to
fund the cash requirements for the transaction, including the repurchase or refinancing of
Solectrons debt, if required. We anticipate that we will enter into debt and equity financings,
sales of accounts receivable and lease transactions to fund other acquisitions and anticipated
growth. The sale or issuance of equity or convertible debt securities could result in dilution to
our current shareholders. Further, we may issue debt securities that have rights and privileges
senior to those of holders of our ordinary shares, and the terms of this debt could impose
restrictions on our operations and could increase our debt service obligations. Following the
acquisition of Solectron, the combined company is expected to have approximately $3.3 billion to
$4.0 billion in total debt outstanding, and a higher debt to capital ratio than that of the Company
on a stand-alone basis. This increased indebtedness could limit the combined companys flexibility
as a result of debt service requirements and restrictive covenants, potentially affect our credit
ratings, and may limit the combined companys ability to access additional capital or execute its
business strategy. Any downgrades in our credit ratings could adversely affect our ability to
borrow by resulting in more restrictive borrowing terms. We continue to assess our capital
structure, and evaluate the merits of redeploying available cash to reduce existing debt or
repurchase our ordinary shares.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS
Information regarding our long-term debt payments, operating lease payments, capital lease
payments and other commitments is provided in Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on our Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2007. There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations
since March 31, 2007.
We adopted FIN 48 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 and did not recognize any
adjustments to our liability for unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the implementation of FIN
48. As of April 1, 2007, we had approximately $66.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits,
substantially all of which, if recognized, would affect our tax expense. These unrecognized tax
benefits were not included in our discussion of contractual obligations as of March 31, 2007. Our
unrecognized tax benefits are subject to change over the next twelve months primarily as a result
of the expiration of certain statutes of limitations. Although the amount of these adjustments, or
amount and timing of related payments cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, we are not
currently aware of any material impact on our condensed consolidated results of operations and
financial condition. As of June 29, 2007, approximately
$65.0 million of these unrecognized tax benefits were classified
as long-term.
Information regarding our other financial commitments as of June 29, 2007 is provided in the
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Note F, Bank Borrowings and Long-Term Debt
and Note H, Trade Receivables Securitization.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There were no material changes in our exposure to market risk for changes in interest and
foreign currency exchange rates for the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 as compared to the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
We have a portfolio of fixed and variable rate debt. Our variable rate debt instruments create
exposures for us related to interest rate risk. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates from
those as of June 29, 2007 would not
34
have a material effect on our financial position, results of
operations and cash flows over the next twelve months.
We transact business in various foreign countries and are, therefore, subject to risk of
foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We have established a foreign currency risk management
policy to manage this risk. Based on our overall currency rate exposures, including derivative
financial instruments and nonfunctional currency-denominated receivables and payables, a near-term
10% appreciation or depreciation of the U.S. dollar from its cross-functional rates as of June 29,
2007 would not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash
flows over the next twelve months.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of June
29, 2007, the end of the quarterly fiscal period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 29,
2007, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required
to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated
to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during
our first quarter of fiscal year 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of
business. We defend ourselves vigorously against any such claims. Although the outcome of these
matters is currently not determinable, management does not expect that the ultimate costs to
resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position,
results of operations, or cash flows.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider
the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended March 31, 2007, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or
future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing
our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem
to be not material also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or
operating results. In connection with our pending acquisition of Solectron, we are subject to the
following risks relating to the merger:
Flextronics and Solectron may be unable to obtain the regulatory approvals required to complete the
merger; delays or restrictions imposed by competition authorities could harm the combined companys
operations.
Flextronics and Solectron may be unable to obtain the regulatory approvals required to
complete the transaction in the time period forecasted, if at all. In order to complete the merger,
Flextronics and Solectron must notify, furnish information to, and, where applicable, obtain
clearance from competition authorities in Brazil, Canada, China, the European Commission, Mexico,
Turkey and Ukraine. Flextronics and Solectron will also notify and
35
furnish information to, on a
voluntary basis, the competition authorities in Singapore. The merger is also subject to U.S.
antitrust laws and, as such, is subject to review by the Antitrust Division of the United States
Department of
Justice, or the DOJ, and the Federal Trade Commission, or the FTC, under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, or the HSR Act. Flextronics and Solectron made
their filings under the HSR Act on June 14, 2007, and have made the necessary filings or requests
with competition authorities in Brazil on June 26, 2007, in Canada on July 6, 2007, in China on
July 19, 2007, in Mexico on July 6, 2007, in Turkey on July 3, 2007 and in Ukraine on July 6, 2007.
Flextronics and Solectron expect to file voluntary notification of the merger in Singapore in
early-August 2007. Pursuant to a request for early termination, the applicable waiting period
under the HSR Act was terminated on July 16, 2007. In addition, Canadian competition authorities
cleared the transaction on July 30, 2007 and Ukrainian competition authorities cleared the
transaction on August 3, 2007. Reviewing agencies or governments or private persons may challenge
the merger under antitrust or similar laws at any time before or after its completion. Any
resulting delay in the completion of the merger could diminish the anticipated benefits of the
merger or result in additional transaction costs, loss of revenue or other effects associated with
uncertainty about the transaction.
The reviewing authorities may not permit the merger at all or may impose restrictions or
conditions on the merger that may seriously harm the combined company if the merger is completed.
These conditions could include a complete or partial license, divestiture, spin-off or the holding
separate of assets or businesses. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Flextronics is not
required to agree to any divestiture of any shares of capital stock or of any business, assets or
properties of Flextronics or its subsidiaries or affiliates (including Solectron or its
subsidiaries) that will have or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on
the benefits expected to be derived from the merger. In addition, Flextronics may refuse to
complete the merger if governmental authorities impose any material restrictions or limitations on
Flextronics, Solectron or their respective subsidiaries and their ability to conduct their
respective businesses that will have or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the benefits expected to be derived from the merger. Flextronics and Solectron also may
agree to restrictions or conditions imposed by antitrust authorities in order to obtain regulatory
approval, and these restrictions or conditions could harm the combined companys operations.
Any delay in completing the merger may significantly reduce the benefits expected to be obtained
from the merger.
In addition to receipt of required regulatory clearances and approvals, the merger is subject
to a number of other conditions beyond the control of Flextronics and Solectron that may prevent,
delay or otherwise materially adversely affect its completion. Flextronics and Solectron cannot
predict whether and when these other conditions will be satisfied. Further, the requirements for
obtaining the required clearances and approvals could delay the completion of the merger for a
significant period of time or prevent it from occurring. Any delay in completing the merger may
affect the ability of Flextronics and Solectron to achieve the synergies and other benefits they
expect to achieve from the merger within the forecasted timeframe.
Failure to complete the merger could materially and adversely affect Flextronicss results of
operations and stock price.
Consummation of the merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including obtaining the
approval of Solectrons stockholders and Flextronics shareholders to proposals that are described
in the joint proxy statement/prospectus that forms part of the Companys registration statement on
Form S-4 that was filed with the SEC on August 7, 2007. There can be no assurance that these
conditions will be met or waived, that the necessary approvals will be obtained, or that
Flextronics and Solectron will be able to successfully consummate the merger as currently
contemplated under the merger agreement or at all. In addition, on June 4, 2007, a purported class
action complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Santa Clara,
alleging breach of fiduciary duty by the directors of Solectron and seeking to enjoin the merger.
While this case is in the early stages, Solectron believes that it is without merit. Any judgments,
however, in respect of this or similar lawsuits that are adverse to Flextronics and Solectron may
adversely affect their ability to consummate the merger.
If the merger is not consummated:
36
Flextronics will remain liable for significant transaction costs, including legal,
accounting, financial advisory and other costs relating to the merger;
under specified circumstances, Flextronics may have to pay a termination fee in the amount
of $100.0 million to Solectron;
any operational investments that Flextronics may delay due to the pending transaction
would need to be made, potentially on an accelerated timeframe, which could then prove
costly and more difficult to implement; and
the market price of Flextronics ordinary shares may decline to the extent that the current
market price reflects a belief by investors that the merger will be completed.
Additionally, the announcement of the pending merger may lead to uncertainty for Flextronics
and Solectrons employees and some of Flextronics and Solectrons customers and suppliers.
This uncertainty may mean:
the attention of Flextronicss management and employees may be diverted from day-to-day
operations;
Flextronicss and Solectrons customers and suppliers may seek to modify or terminate
existing agreements, or prospective customers may delay entering into new agreements or
purchasing Solectrons products as a result of the announcement of the merger; and
Flextronicss and Solectrons ability to attract new employees and retain existing
employees may be harmed by uncertainties associated with the merger.
The occurrence of any of these events individually or in combination could materially and
adversely affect Flextronicss and Solectrons results of operations and their respective stock
prices.
The termination fee contained in the merger agreement may discourage other companies from trying to
acquire Flextronics.
Flextronics has agreed to pay a termination fee in the amount of $100.0 million to Solectron
in connection with a third-party acquisition of Flextronics under specified circumstances. This
termination fee could discourage other companies from trying to acquire Flextronics prior to
consummation of the merger, even though those other companies might be willing to offer greater
value to Flextronics shareholders than Flextronics could realize through effecting the merger.
Flextronics and Solectron are subject to contractual obligations while the merger is pending that
could restrict the manner in which they operate their respective businesses.
The merger agreement restricts Solectron from making certain acquisitions and taking other
specified actions without the consent of Flextronics until the merger occurs. The merger agreement
also restricts Flextronics from taking certain specified actions without the consent of Solectron
until the merger occurs. These restrictions may prevent Flextronics and/or Solectron from pursuing
business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the merger.
The failure of Solectron to obtain certain consents related to the merger could give third parties
the right to terminate or alter existing contracts, declare a default under existing contracts, or
otherwise result in liabilities of the combined company to third parties.
Certain agreements between Solectron and its lenders, suppliers, customers or other business
partners require the consent or approval of these other parties in connection with the merger.
Solectron has agreed to use reasonable best efforts to secure any necessary consents and approvals
requested by Flextronics. However, Solectron may not be successful in obtaining all necessary
consents or approvals, or if the necessary consents are obtained, they may not
37
be obtained on
favorable terms. If these consents and approvals are not obtained, the failure to have obtained
such consents or approvals could give third parties the right to terminate or alter existing
contracts, declare a default under existing contracts, demand payment on outstanding obligations or
result in some other liability of the
combined company to such third parties, which in each instance could have a material adverse
effect on the business and financial condition of the combined company after the merger.
Flextronics and Solectron expect to incur significant costs associated with the merger.
Flextronics and Solectron expect to incur significant costs associated with completing the
merger. Flextronics believes that it may incur charges to operations, which are not currently
reasonably estimable, in the quarter in which the merger is completed or the following quarters, to
reflect costs associated with integrating the businesses and operations of Flextronics and
Solectron. There can be no assurance that Flextronics will not incur additional charges in
subsequent quarters to reflect additional costs associated with the merger.
Flextronics may not realize the expected benefits of the merger due to difficulties integrating the
businesses, operations and product lines of Flextronics and Solectron.
Flextronics believes that the acquisition of Solectron will result in certain benefits,
including certain cost and operating synergies and operational efficiencies. However, Flextronicss
ability to realize these anticipated benefits will depend on a successful combination of the
businesses of Flextronics and Solectron. The integration process will be complex, time-consuming
and expensive and could disrupt Flextronicss business if not completed in a timely and efficient
manner. The combined company may not realize the expected benefits of the merger for a variety of
reasons, including but not limited to the following:
failure to demonstrate to Flextronicss and Solectrons customers and suppliers that the
merger will not result in adverse changes in client service standards or business focus;
difficulties integrating IT and financial reporting systems;
failure to rationalize and integrate facilities quickly and effectively;
loss of key employees during the transition and integration periods;
revenue attrition in excess of anticipated levels; and
failure to leverage the increased scale of the combined company quickly and effectively.
Uncertainties associated with the merger may cause a loss of employees and may otherwise materially
adversely affect the businesses of Flextronics and Solectron, and the future business and
operations of the combined company.
The combined companys success after the merger will depend in part upon the ability of the
combined company to retain key employees of Flextronics and Solectron. Current and prospective
employees of Flextronics and Solectron may be uncertain about their roles with the combined company
following the merger, which may have a material adverse affect on the ability of each of
Flextronics and Solectron to attract and retain key management, sales, marketing, technical and
other personnel. In addition, key employees may depart because of issues relating to the
uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with the combined company
following the merger. The loss of services of any key personnel or the inability to hire new
personnel with the requisite skills could restrict the ability of the combined company to develop
new products or enhance existing products in a timely matter, to sell products to customers or to
manage the business of the combined company effectively.
The combined companys increased debt may create limitations.
Flextronics estimates that it will require up to approximately $1.9 billion to pay the cash
portion of the merger consideration, including acquisition and financing related costs, assuming
holders of 50% of Solectrons outstanding shares elect to receive cash or approximately $700
million less if holders of 30% of Solectrons outstanding shares
38
elect to receive cash. In
addition, upon consummation of the merger, the surviving corporation will be required to offer to
repurchase Solectrons outstanding $150 million in 8.00% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 and
$450 million in 0.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2034 at a price of 101% and 100%, respectively,
of the principal
amount of the notes outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the
date of repurchase. Following the acquisition, the combined company is expected to have
approximately $3.3 billion (assuming 70% of Solectrons outstanding shares elect to receive
Flextronics ordinary shares) to $4.0 billion (assuming 50% of Solectrons outstanding shares elect
to receive cash) in total debt outstanding, and a higher debt to capital ratio than that of
Flextronics on a stand-alone basis. This increased indebtedness could limit the combined companys
flexibility as a result of debt service requirements and restrictive covenants, and may limit the
combined companys ability to access additional capital or execute its business strategy.
The combined company may take substantial restructuring charges in connection with the merger,
which may have a material adverse impact on operating results.
As part of combining the two companies, Flextronics expects to incur significant restructuring
costs during the year commencing with the closing of the acquisition. The financial results of the
combined company may be adversely affected by cash expenditures and non-cash charges incurred in
connection with the restructuring and integration activities. These costs relate to restructuring
and integration activities centered around the global footprint rationalization and elimination of
redundant assets or unnecessary functions and include retention bonuses, the amounts of which
cannot be currently estimated as management of Flextronics has not yet determined all of the
restructuring activities. Certain liabilities associated with these restructuring activities will
be recorded as liabilities assumed from Solectron, with a corresponding increase in goodwill and no
impact on operating results. Further, Flextronics and Solectron have historically recognized
substantial restructuring and other charges resulting from reduced workforce and capacity at
higher-cost locations, and the consolidation and closure of several manufacturing facilities,
including related impairment of certain long-lived assets. If the combined company is required to
take additional restructuring charges in the future, it could have a material adverse impact on
operating results, financial position and the cash flows of the combined company.
