PRESS RELEASE
Cash and cash equivalents increased to a record $2.2 billion at December 31, 2009, an increase of
$275 million from the prior quarter. During the third quarter, Flextronics generated $331
million of operating cash flow and $291 million of free cash flow (defined as net cash provided
by operating activities of $331 million, less purchases of property and equipment, net of
dispositions). Net debt, which is total debt less total cash, was further reduced in the current
quarter by $278 million to $309 million. Net debt has decreased by approximately $1 billion from
one year ago. Adjusted ROIC improved to 30.1% for the quarter, an
increase of 790 bps compared to
22.2% for the prior quarter.
Paul Read, CFO of Flextronics added, The third quarter represented a solid financial performance
for the Company. We continued to drive margin expansion and with our industry leading cash
conversion cycle of 11 days, we generated substantial cash flow. Cash flow from operations
during the quarter was $331 million and for the fiscal year-to-date we have generated ~$750
million. Our net debt has benefitted from the cash generation and ended the quarter at $309
million, down meaningfully from the $587 million in the prior quarter.
Guidance
For the fourth quarter ending March 31, 2010, revenue is expected to be in the range of $5.8
billion to $6.2 billion and adjusted EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.13 to $0.16 per
share.
GAAP earnings per share are expected to be lower than the guidance provided herein by
approximately $0.07 per diluted share for estimated restructuring activities, quarterly
intangible amortization, stock-based compensation expense and non-cash interest expense.

SCHEDULE IV
FLEXTRONICS INTERNATIONAL LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO SCHEDULES I, II, & III
NOTES TO SCHEDULES I, II, & III
(1) | To supplement Flextronicss unaudited selected financial data presented on a basis consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain charges, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share. These supplemental measures exclude, among other items, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, intangible amortization, financially distressed customer charges, non-cash convertible debt interest expense and certain other items. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative for GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Flextronicss results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate Flextronicss results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. We compensate for the limitations of non-GAAP financial measures by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of Company performance. | |
In calculating non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude certain items to facilitate a review of the comparability of the Companys operating performance on a period-to-period basis because such items are not, in our view, related to the Companys ongoing operational performance. We use non-GAAP measures to evaluate the operating performance of our business, for comparison with forecasts and strategic plans, for calculating return on investment, and for benchmarking performance externally against competitors. In addition, managements incentive compensation is determined using certain non-GAAP measures. Also, when evaluating potential acquisitions, we exclude certain of the items described below from consideration of the targets performance and valuation. Since we find these measures to be useful, we believe that investors benefit from seeing results through the eyes of management in addition to seeing GAAP results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with the Companys GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by offering: |
| the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Companys on-going operating results; |
| the ability to better identify trends in the Companys underlying business and perform related trend analyses; |
| a better understanding of how management plans and measures the Companys underlying business; and |
| an easier way to compare the Companys operating results against analyst financial models and operating results of competitors that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures. |
The following are explanations of each of the adjustments that we incorporate into non-GAAP
measures, as well as the reasons for excluding each of these individual items in the
reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures:
Stock-based compensation expense consists of non-cash charges for the estimated fair value of
stock options and unvested share bonus awards granted to employees and assumed in business
acquisitions. The Company believes that the exclusion of these charges provides for more
accurate comparisons of its operating results to peer companies due to the varying available
valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. In addition,
the Company believes it is useful to investors to understand the specific impact stock-based
compensation expense has on its operating results.
Restructuring charges include severance, impairment, lease termination, exit costs and other
charges primarily related to the closures and consolidations of various manufacturing
facilities. These costs may vary in size based on the Companys acquisition and
restructuring activities, are not directly related to ongoing or core business results, and
do not reflect expected future operating expenses. These costs are excluded by the Companys
management in assessing current operating performance and forecasting its earnings trends,
and are therefore excluded by the Company from its non-GAAP measures.
Distressed customer charges are comprised of additional provisions for doubtful accounts
receivable, inventory and other obligations for customers that are experiencing significant
financial difficulties. These costs are excluded by the Companys management in assessing
its current operating performance and forecasting its earnings trends, and accordingly, are
excluded by the Company from its non-GAAP measures.
One Marina Boulevard, #28-00 Singapore 018989 |
65.6890.7188 Main www.flextronics.com |

PRESS RELEASE |
Intangible amortization consists of non-cash charges that can be impacted by the timing and
magnitude of acquisitions. The Company considers its operating results without these
charges when evaluating its ongoing performance and forecasting its earnings trends, and
therefore excludes such charges when presenting non-GAAP financial measures. The Company
believes that the assessment of its operations excluding these costs is relevant to its
assessment of internal operations and comparisons to the performance of its competitors.
Other charges or gains consists of various other types of items that are not directly related
to ongoing or core business results, such as impairment charges associated with non-core
investments and notes receivable and gains on the extinguishment of debt. We exclude these
items because they are not related to the Companys ongoing operating performance or do not
affect core operations. Excluding these amounts provide investors with a basis to compare
Company performance against the performance of other companies without this variability.
Non-cash convertible debt interest expense consists of interest expense recorded as a result
of new accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon
conversion. The Company considers its operating results without these charges when
evaluating its ongoing performance and forecasting its earnings trends, and therefore
excludes such charges when presenting non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes
that the assessment of its operations excluding theses costs is relevant to its assessment
of internal operations and comparisons to the performance of its competitors.
Adjustment for taxes relates to the tax effects of the various adjustments that we
incorporate into non-GAAP measures in order to provide a more meaningful measure on non-GAAP
net income and certain adjustments related to tax contingencies.
(2) | During the three-month period ended December 31, 2008, the Company incurred a $145.3 million charge as a result of the previously announced Nortel bankruptcy. In November 2009, the Company agreed to a settlement with Nortel primarily related to pre-bankruptcy petition claims. As a result of this settlement, the Company revised its estimates related to the recovery of Nortel accounts receivable, certain retirement obligations and other claims. In addition, the Company has continued to recover amounts related to previously reserved inventory as a result of continuing business with Nortel post bankruptcy. During the three-month period ended December 31, 2009, we recorded a net $2.3 million reduction to the original charge which included a reduction to cost of sales of $26.3 million net of an increase to selling general and administrative expenses of $24 million. |
(3) | During the three month periods ended December 31, 2009 and October 2, 2009, the Company recognized restructuring charges as a result of the difficult macroeconomic conditions. The global economic crisis and related decline in the Companys customers products across all of the industries it serves, has caused the Companys OEM customers to reduce their manufacturing and supply chain outsourcing negatively impacting the Companys capacity utilization levels. The Companys restructuring activities, which 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 arrangements due to facility closures, are intended to improve its operational efficiencies by reducing excess workforce and capacity. In addition to the cost reductions, these activities will result in further shift of manufacturing capacity to locations with higher efficiencies and, in most instances, lower costs. |
(4) | During the three month period ended October 2, 2009, the Company impaired its carrying value in a certain non-core investment and notes receivable due to a reduction in estimated recoverability. |
(5) | On April 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) which was required to be applied retrospectively. The adoption affected the accounting for the Companys 1% Convertible Subordinated Notes and Zero Coupon Convertible Junior Subordinated Notes by requiring the initial proceeds from their sale to be allocated between a liability component and an equity component in a manner that results in interest expense on the debt component at the Companys nonconvertible debt borrowing rate on the date of issuance. Upon adoption the Company recorded the change in accounting principle as a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2009 totaling approximately $225 million and a discount to the carrying value of the convertible debt notes of $27.5 million. The corresponding increase in the recorded value of ordinary shares was approximately $252 million. The adoption had no impact on the Companys consolidated cash flows. Below is a summary of the impacts to the financial statements and related notes and interest expense for the respective periods presented. |

The adoption of the new accounting for convertible debt had less than a $0.01 negative impact on
basic and diluted GAAP earnings per share in both the three-month periods ended December 31, 2009
and October 2, 2009.
(6) | During the three-month period ended October 2, 2009, the Company recognized non-cash tax benefits as a result of settlements in various tax jurisdictions, partially offset by certain charges related to uncertain tax positions. |
Free Cash Flow consists of GAAP net cash flows from operating activities less purchase of property
and equipment, net of dispositions. We believe free cash flow is an important liquidity metric
because it measures, during a given period, the amount of cash generated that is available to repay
debt obligations, make investments, fund acquisitions and for certain other activities. Since Free
Cash Flow includes investments in operating assets, we believe this non-GAAP liquidity measure is
useful in addition to the most directly comparable GAAP measure net cash flows provided by
operating activities.
Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) is calculated by annualizing the Companys current quarter
after-tax non-GAAP operating income and dividing that by a two quarter average net invested capital
asset base. After-tax non-GAAP operating income excludes charges for financially distressed
customers, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and other charges. Net invested capital
is defined as total assets less current liabilities and other long-term liabilities further
adjusted for non-operating assets and liabilities. Non-operating assets and liabilities are not
included in the net invested capital asset base because they do not affect non-GAAP operating
income. Non-operating assets and liabilities include, but are not limited to, cash and cash
equivalents, short-term investments, notes receivable, restructuring liabilities, accrued interest,
short-term bank borrowings and current and non-current debt. We believe ROIC is a useful measure in
providing investors with information regarding our performance. ROIC is a widely accepted measure
of earnings efficiency in relation to total capital employed. We believe that increasing the
return on total capital employed, as measured by ROIC, is an effective method to sustain and
increase shareholder value. ROIC is not a measure of financial performance under generally
accepted accounting principles in the U.S., and may not be defined and calculated by other
companies in the same manner. ROIC should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to
net income or loss as an indicator of performance. The following table reconciles ROIC as
calculated using after-tax non-GAAP operating income to the same performance measure calculated
using the nearest GAAP measure, which is GAAP operating income adjusted for taxes:

Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) is defined as the sum of non-GAAP inventory turns in days and days
sales outstanding in accounts receivable less non-GAAP days payable outstanding in accounts
payable. We calculate non-GAAP inventory turns as annualized non-GAAP cost of sales (before
adjustments for financially distressed customers, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring
and other charges) divided by average inventory for the quarter. We calculate our days sales
outstanding as annualized revenues divided by average accounts receivable for the quarter. We
calculate non-GAAP days payable outstanding as annualized non-GAAP cost of sales (before
adjustments for financially distressed customers, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring
and other charges) divided by average accounts payable.
We believe the Cash Conversion Cycle is a useful measure in providing investors with information
regarding our cash management performance and is a widely accepted measure of working capital
management efficiency. These are measures of financial performance under generally accepted
accounting principles in the U.S. when calculated using GAAP operating measures, but may not be
defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner. These should not be considered in
isolation or as an alternative to other GAAP metrics as an indicator of performance. For the
Quarter ended December 31, 2009,
Cash Conversion Cycle of 11 days calculated using the non-GAAP measures described above was the
same as that calculated using cost of sales in accordance with GAAP.
