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 July 1, 2016, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the three-month periods ended July 1, 2016 and June 26, 2015. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the 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 the 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 reviews, 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Flextronics International Ltd. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated May 20, 2016, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2016 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)
 
1.  ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Organization of the Company
 
Flextronics International Ltd. ("Flex", or the "Company") was incorporated in the Republic of Singapore in May 1990. The Company's operations have expanded over the years through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions. The Company is a globally-recognized leading provider of innovative design, engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain services and solutions that span from sketch to scaletm; from conceptual sketch to full-scale production. The Company designs, builds, ships and services complete packaged consumer electronics and industrial products for original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), through its activities in the following segments: High Reliability Solutions ("HRS"), which is comprised of medical business including consumer health, digital health, disposables, drug delivery, diagnostics, life sciences and imaging equipment; automotive business, including vehicle electronics, connectivity, and clean technologies; and defense and aerospace businesses, focused on commercial aviation, defense and military; Consumer Technologies Group ("CTG"), which includes mobile devices business, including smart phones; consumer electronics business, including connected living, wearable electronics including digital sport, game consoles, and connectivity devices; and high-volume computing business, including various supply chain solutions for notebook personal computers ("PC"), tablets, and printers; in addition, CTG group is expanding its business relationships to include supply chain optimization for non-electronics products such as shoes and clothing; Industrial and Emerging Industries ("IEI"), which is comprised of semiconductor and capital equipment, office solutions, household industrial and lifestyle, industrial automation and kiosks, energy and metering, and lighting; and Communications & Enterprise Compute ("CEC"), includes radio access base stations, remote radio heads, and small cells for wireless infrastructure; optical, routing, broadcasting, and switching products for the data and video networks; server and storage platforms for both enterprise and cloud-based deployments; next generation storage and security appliance products; and rack level solutions, converged infrastructure and software-defined product solutions. The Company's strategy is to provide customers with a full range of cost competitive, vertically integrated global supply chain solutions through which the Company can design, build, ship and service a complete packaged product for its OEM customers. This enables the Company's OEM customers to leverage the Company's supply chain solutions to meet their product requirements throughout the entire product life cycle.

The Company's service offerings include a comprehensive range of value-added design and engineering services that are tailored to the various markets and needs of its customers. Other focused service offerings relate to manufacturing (including enclosures, metals, plastic injection molding, precision plastics, machining, and mechanicals), system integration and assembly and test services, materials procurement, inventory management, logistics and after-sales services (including product repair, warranty services, re-manufacturing and maintenance) and supply chain management software solutions and component product offerings (including rigid and flexible printed circuit boards and power adapters and chargers).

Basis of Presentation
 
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 Rule 10-01 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 Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 contained in the Company’s 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 July 1, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017.
 
The first quarters for fiscal year 2017 and fiscal year 2016 ended on July 1, 2016, which is comprised of 92 days in the period, and June 26, 2015, which is comprised of 87 days in the period, respectively.
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Flex and its majority-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The Company consolidates its majority-owned subsidiaries and investments in entities in which the Company has a controlling interest. For the consolidated majority-owned subsidiaries in which the Company owns less than 100%, the Company recognizes a noncontrolling interest for the ownership of the noncontrolling owners. Noncontrolling interests are presented as a separate component of total shareholders' equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The associated noncontrolling owners' interests are immaterial for all of the periods presented, and are included in interest and other, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

8


The Company has certain non-majority-owned equity investments in non-publicly traded companies that are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The equity method of accounting is used when the Company has the ability to significantly influence the operating decisions of the issuer, or if the Company has an ownership percentage of a corporation equal to or generally greater than 20% but less than 50%, and for non-majority-owned investments in partnerships when generally greater than 5%. The equity in earnings (losses) of equity method investees are immaterial for all of the periods presented, and are included in interest and other, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new guidance intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the accounting for share-based payments. The new guidance simplifies various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments including income tax effects, withholding requirements and forfeitures. The Company elected to early adopt this new guidance during the three-month period ended July 1, 2016. The guidance eliminates additional paid in capital ("APIC") pools and requires companies to recognize all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. It also addresses the presentation of excess tax benefits and employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows. Prior to adoption, the Company elected to not deduct tax benefits for stock-based compensation awards on its tax returns, and accordingly, did not have any excess tax benefits or tax deficiencies upon adoption. The Company therefore determined that adoption of the new guidance had no impact on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Further, the new guidance eliminates the requirement to estimate forfeitures and reduce stock compensation expense during the vesting period. Instead, companies can elect to account for actual forfeitures as they occur and record any previously unrecognized compensation expense for estimated forfeitures up to the period of adoption as a retrospective adjustment to beginning retained earnings. The Company has made the election to account for actual forfeitures as they occur starting in fiscal year 2017. After assessment, it was determined that the cumulative effect adjustment required under the new guidance was immaterial and therefore the Company did not record a retrospective adjustment. The Company finally determined that the adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company.

(1)
The goodwill generated from the Company’s business combination completed during the three-month period ended July 1, 2016 is primarily related to value placed on the acquired employee workforce, service offerings and capabilities of an acquired business. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. See note 10 for additional information.

(2)
During the three-month period ended July 1, 2016, the Company disposed of a non-strategic business within the HRS segment, and recorded a reduction of goodwill of $1.8 million accordingly, which is included in the loss on sale in other expense on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

(3)
Includes adjustments to estimates resulting from the finalization of management's review of the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed through certain business combinations completed in a period subsequent to the respective acquisition. These adjustments were not individually, nor in the aggregate, significant to the Company.

Other current assets include approximately $460.3 million and $501.1 million as of July 1, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively, for the deferred purchase price receivable from the Company's Global and North American Asset-Backed Securitization programs. See note 8 for additional information.

Also included in other current assets is the value of certain assets purchased on behalf of a customer and financed by a third party banking institution in the amounts of $83.8 million and $83.6 million as of July 1, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively.

Other Current Liabilities

Other current liabilities include customer working capital advances of $219.3 million and $253.7 million, customer-related accruals of $498.5 million and $479.5 million, and deferred revenue of $330.0 million and $332.3 million as of July 1, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively. The customer working capital advances are not interest-bearing, do not have fixed repayment dates and are generally reduced as the underlying working capital is consumed in production. Other current liabilities also include the outstanding balance due to the third party banking institution related to the financed equipment discussed above of $96.9 million and $122.0 million as of July 1, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively.

3.  SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
 
The Company's primary plan used for granting equity compensation awards is the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2010 Plan").

During fiscal year 2016, in conjunction with the acquisition of NEXTracker Inc. ("NEXTracker"), the Company assumed all of the outstanding, unvested share bonus awards and outstanding, unvested options to purchase shares of common stock of NEXTracker, and converted all of these shares into Flex awards. As a result, the Company now offers the 2014 NEXTracker Equity Incentive Plan (the "NEXTracker Plan").

Further, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, in conjunction with an immaterial acquisition, the Company assumed all of the outstanding, unvested options to purchase shares of common stock of the acquiree, and converted all of these shares into Flex awards. As a result, the Company now offers an additional equity compensation plan, the BrightBox Technologies 2013 Plan (the "BrightBox Plan").

The Company early adopted new guidance intended to reduce cost and complexity of the accounting for share-based payments, as discussed further in note 1.

The following table summarizes the Company’s share-based compensation expense:

Total unrecognized compensation expense related to share options under the 2010 Plan is not significant. As of July 1, 2016, the number of options outstanding and exercisable under the 2010 Plan was 1.2 million at a weighted-average exercise price of $8.49 per share, for both.

During the three-month period ended July 1, 2016, the Company granted 5.6 million unvested share bonus awards under the 2010 Plan. Of this amount, approximately 4.7 million unvested share bonus awards have an average grant date price of $12.80 per share. Further, approximately 0.7 million of these unvested shares represents the target amount of grants made to certain key employees whereby vesting is contingent on certain market conditions. The average grant date fair value of these awards contingent on certain market conditions was estimated to be $17.57 per award and was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. The remaining 0.2 million of unvested shares bonus awards under the 2010 Plan have an average grant date price of $12.82 per share and represents the target amount of grants made to certain executive officers whereby vesting is contingent on meeting certain free cash flow targets. The number of shares under the 2010 Plan, contingent on market conditions that

11

ultimately will vest range from zero up to a maximum of 1.4 million based on a measurement of the percentile rank of the Company’s total shareholder return over a certain specified period against the Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Composite Index and will cliff vest after a period of three years, if such market conditions have been met. The number of shares under the 2010 Plan, contingent on free cash flow targets that ultimately will vest range from zero up to a maximum of 0.4 million of the target payment based on a measurement of cumulative three-year increase of free cash flow from operations of the Company, and will cliff vest after a period of three years.

As of July 1, 2016, approximately 16.4 million unvested share bonus awards under the 2010 Plan were outstanding, of which vesting for a targeted amount of 2.3 million is contingent primarily on meeting certain market conditions. The number of shares that will ultimately be issued can range from zero to 4.6 million based on the achievement levels of the respective conditions. During the three-month period ended July 1, 2016, 3.5 million shares under the 2010 Plan vested in connection with the share bonus awards with market conditions granted in fiscal year 2014.

As of July 1, 2016, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share bonus awards under the 2010 Plan is $177.4 million, and will be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 3.0 years. Approximately $30.1 million of the total unrecognized compensation cost, is related to awards under the 2010 Plan whereby vesting is contingent on meeting certain market conditions.

The 2014 NEXTracker Equity Incentive Plan

All shares previously granted under the NEXTracker plan are the result of the Company's conversion of all outstanding, unvested shares of NEXTracker into unvested shares of the Company, as part of the acquisition. Therefore, no additional share options or share bonus awards were granted by the Company during the three-month period ended July 1, 2016.

As of July 1, 2016, total unrecognized compensation expense related to share options under the NEXTracker Plan is $14.0 million, and will be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 2.6 years. As of July 1, 2016, the number of options outstanding and exercisable was 2.4 million and 0.3 million, respectively, at a weighted-average exercise price of $3.79 per share and $5.35 per share, respectively.

As of July 1, 2016, approximately 2.3 million unvested share bonus awards were outstanding.  The total unrecognized compensation expense related to these unvested share bonus awards under the NEXTracker Plan is $16.5 million, and will be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 2.1 years.

The BrightBox Technologies 2013 Plan

During the three-month period ended July 1, 2016, the Company granted 0.2 million share options under the BrightBox Plan, at an average grant date fair value price of $11.99 per share, and with a vesting period of three years from the vesting commencement date. All shares granted under the BrightBox plan are the result of the Company's conversion of all outstanding, unvested shares of BrightBox into unvested shares of the Company, as part of the acquisition. No additional grants will be made out of this plan in the future.

As of July 1, 2016, total unrecognized compensation expense related to share options under the BrightBox Plan is $1.8 million, and will be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 2.9 years. As of July 1, 2016, the number of options outstanding was 0.2 million, at a weighted-average exercise price of $0.51 per share. No options under this plan were exercisable as of July 1, 2016.

As of July 1, 2016, the fair value of the Company’s short-term foreign currency contracts was not material and is included in other current assets or other current liabilities, as applicable, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Certain of these contracts are designed to economically hedge the Company’s exposure to monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a non-functional currency and are not accounted for as hedges under the accounting standards. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized in earnings during the period of change as a component of interest and other, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of July 1, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the Company also has included net deferred gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of shareholders’ equity in the condensed

14

consolidated balance sheets, relating to changes in fair value of its foreign currency contracts that are accounted for as cash flow hedges. These deferred gains were $1.6 million as of July 1, 2016, and are expected to be recognized primarily as a component of cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations primarily over the next twelve-month period. The gains and losses recognized in earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness were not material for all fiscal periods presented and are included as a component of interest and other, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Substantially all unrealized losses relating to derivative instruments and other, reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three-month periods ended June 26, 2015, was recognized as a component of cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, which primarily relate to the Company’s foreign currency contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges. 

8.  TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION
 
The Company sells trade receivables under two asset-backed securitization programs and under an accounts receivable factoring program.
 
Asset-Backed Securitization Programs
 
The Company continuously sells designated pools of trade receivables under its Global Asset-Backed Securitization Agreement (the “Global Program”) and its North American Asset-Backed Securitization Agreement (the “North American Program,” collectively, the “ABS Programs”) to affiliated special purpose entities, each of which in turn sells 100% of the receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions. These programs allow the operating subsidiaries to receive a cash payment and a deferred purchase price receivable for sold receivables. Following the transfer of the receivables to the special purpose entities, the transferred receivables are isolated from the Company and its affiliates, and upon the sale of the receivables from the special purpose entities to the unaffiliated financial institutions, effective control of the transferred receivables is passed to the unaffiliated financial institutions, which has the right to pledge or sell the receivables. Although the special purpose entities are consolidated by the Company, they are separate corporate entities and their assets are available first to satisfy the claims of their creditors. The investment limits set by the financial institutions are $700.0 million for the Global Program, of which $600.0 million is committed and $100.0 million is uncommitted, and $265.0 million for the North American Program, of which $225.0 million is committed and $40.0 million is uncommitted. Both programs require a minimum level of deferred purchase price receivable to be retained by the Company in connection with the sales.
 
The Company services, administers and collects the receivables on behalf of the special purpose entities and receives a servicing fee of 0.1% to 0.5% of serviced receivables per annum. Servicing fees recognized during the three-month periods ended July 1, 2016 and June 26, 2015 were not material and are included in interest and other, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As the Company estimates the fee it receives in return for its obligation to service these receivables is at fair value, no servicing assets and liabilities are recognized.

16

 
As of July 1, 2016, approximately $1.3 billion of accounts receivable had been sold to the special purpose entities under the ABS Programs for which the Company had received net cash proceeds of approximately $885.0 million and deferred purchase price receivables of approximately $460.3 million. As of March 31, 2016, approximately $1.4 billion of accounts receivable had been sold to the special purpose entities for which the Company had received net cash proceeds of $880.8 million and deferred purchase price receivables of approximately $501.1 million. The portion of the purchase price for the receivables which is not paid by the unaffiliated financial institutions in cash is a deferred purchase price receivable, which is paid to the special purpose entity as payments on the receivables are collected from account debtors. The deferred purchase price receivable represents a beneficial interest in the transferred financial assets and is recognized at fair value as part of the sale transaction. The deferred purchase price receivables are included in other current assets as of July 1, 2016 and March 31, 2016, and were carried at the expected recovery amount of the related receivables. The difference between the carrying amount of the receivables sold under these programs and the sum of the cash and fair value of the deferred purchase price receivables received at time of transfer is recognized as a loss on sale of the related receivables and recorded in interest and other, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and were immaterial for all periods presented.
 
As of July 1, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the accounts receivable balances that were sold under the ABS Programs were removed from the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the net cash proceeds received by the Company were included as cash provided by operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
 
For the three-month periods ended July 1, 2016 and June 26, 2015, cash flows from sales of receivables under the ABS Programs consisted of approximately $1.4 billion and $1.1 billion, for transfers of receivables, respectively (of which approximately $59.5 million and $162.7 million, respectively, represented new transfers and the remainder proceeds from collections reinvested in revolving-period transfers).
 
The following table summarizes the activity in the deferred purchase price receivables account:

Trade Accounts Receivable Sale Programs
 
The Company also sold accounts receivables to certain third-party banking institutions. The outstanding balance of receivables sold and not yet collected was approximately $348.4 million and $339.4 million as of July 1, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively. For the three-month periods ended July 1, 2016 and June 26, 2015, total accounts receivable sold to certain third party banking institutions was approximately $453.0 million and $637.9 million, respectively. The receivables that were sold were removed from the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the cash received is reflected as cash provided by operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
 
9.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
 
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The accounting guidance for fair value establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
 
Level 1 - Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
The Company has deferred compensation plans for its officers and certain other employees. Amounts deferred under the plans are invested in hypothetical investments selected by the participant or the participant’s investment manager. The

17

Company’s deferred compensation plan assets are for the most part included in other noncurrent assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and primarily include investments in equity securities that are valued using active market prices.
 
Level 2 - Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets) such as cash and cash equivalents and money market funds; or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
 
The Company values foreign exchange forward contracts using level 2 observable inputs which primarily consist of an income approach based on the present value of the forward rate less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount.
 
The Company’s cash equivalents are comprised of bank deposits and money market funds, which are valued using level 2 inputs, such as interest rates and maturity periods. Due to their short-term nature, their carrying amount approximates fair value.
 
The Company’s deferred compensation plan assets also include money market funds, mutual funds, corporate and government bonds and certain convertible securities that are valued using prices obtained from various pricing sources. These sources price these investments using certain market indices and the performance of these investments in relation to these indices. As a result, the Company has classified these investments as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
 
Level 3 - Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. 

The Company has accrued for contingent consideration in connection with its business acquisitions, which is measured at fair value based on certain internal models and unobservable inputs.

The fair value of the liability was estimated using a simulation-based measurement technique with significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represents a level 3 fair value measurement. The significant inputs in the fair value measurement not supported by market activity included the Company's probability assessments of expected future revenue during the earn-out period and associated volatility, appropriately discounted considering the uncertainties associated with the obligation, and calculated in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement. Significant decreases in expected revenue during the earn-out period, or significant increases in the discount rate or volatility in isolation would result in lower fair value estimates. The interrelationship between these inputs is not considered significant.


The following table summarizes the activities related to contingent consideration:

The Company values deferred purchase price receivables relating to its asset-backed securitization program based on a discounted cash flow analysis using unobservable inputs (i.e., level 3 inputs), which are primarily risk free interest rates adjusted for the credit quality of the underlying creditor. Due to its high credit quality and short term maturity, the fair value approximates carrying value. Significant increases in either of the major unobservable inputs (credit spread, risk free interest rate) in isolation would result in lower fair value estimates, however the impact is not meaningful. The interrelationship between these inputs is also insignificant. Refer to note 8 for a reconciliation of the change in the deferred purchase price receivable during the three-month periods ended July 1, 2016 and June 26, 2015.

There were no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy during the three-month periods ended July 1, 2016 and June 26, 2015.

The term loans and Notes due February 2020, February 2023 and June 2025 are valued based on broker trading prices in active markets. 

The Company values its €50 million (approximately $55.5 million as of July 1, 2016), 5-year, unsecured, term-loan due September 30, 2020 based on the current market rate, and as of July 1, 2016, the carrying amount approximates fair value.

10. BUSINESS AND ASSETS ACQUISITIONS & DIVESTITURES
 
On May 16, 2016, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding share capital of a software architecture and data science solutions company, which strengthens the Company's capabilities in the energy market within the IEI segment. The Company paid $8.9 million, net of $0.2 million of cash acquired. The property and equipment acquired and liabilities assumed were not material to the Company's consolidated financial results. The Company also recorded $9.5 million of goodwill and intangibles of $1.7 million, and assumed the equity incentive plan of the acquiree. Results of operations were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial results beginning on the date of acquisition, and was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial results for the three-month period ended July 1, 2016.

During the three-month period ended July 1, 2016, the Company disposed of a non-strategic business within the HRS segment. The Company received $12.5 million of proceeds, net of an immaterial amount of cash held in the divested business. The property and equipment sold and liabilities transferred were not material to the Company's consolidated financial results. The loss on disposition was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial results, and is included in other charges, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month period ended July 1, 2016.

Pro-forma results of operations for the acquisition have not been presented, because the effects were immaterial to the Company’s financial results for all periods presented.

The Company is in the process of evaluating the fair value of the assets and liabilities related to business combinations completed during the recent periods. Additional information, which existed as of the acquisition date, may become known to the Company during the remainder of the measurement period, a period not to exceed 12 months from the date of acquisition. Changes to amounts recorded as assets and liabilities may result in a corresponding adjustment to goodwill during the respective measurement periods.

11.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, one of the Company's Brazilian subsidiaries received an assessment for certain sales and import taxes. The tax assessment notice was for nine months of calendar year 2010 for an alleged amount of 52 million Brazilian reals (approximately USD $16 million based on the exchange rate as of July 1, 2016) plus interest. This assessment is in the second stage of the review process at the administrative level. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, the same Brazilian subsidiary received a further assessment related to the same import taxes of an additional 57 million Brazilian reals (approximately USD $18 million based on the exchange rate as of July 1, 2016) plus interest. This assessment is in the first stage of the review process at the administrative level. The Company plans to continue to vigorously oppose both of these assessments, as well as any future assessments. The Company is, however, unable to determine the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome of these assessments against our Brazilian subsidiary. While the Company believes there is no legal basis for the alleged liabilities, due to the complexities and uncertainty surrounding the administrative-review and judicial processes in Brazil and the nature of the claims, it is unable to reasonably estimate a range of loss for this assessment or any future assessments that are reasonably possible. The Company does not expect final judicial determination on either of these claims for several years.

During fiscal year 2015, one of the Company's non-operating Brazilian subsidiaries received an assessment of an approximately USD $100 million related to income and social contribution taxes, interest and penalties. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, the Company received a final favorable judgment in the judicial process reversing the assessment and the case is now closed. As the Company had previously determined there was no legal basis for the assessment, no adjustment was required to be recorded during the first quarter of fiscal year 2017.

In addition, from time to time, 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 expects that any losses that are probable or reasonably possible of being incurred as a result of these matters, which are in excess of amounts already accrued in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, would not be material to the financial statements as a whole.

12.  SHARE REPURCHASES
 
During the three-month period ended July 1, 2016, the Company repurchased 7.3 million shares at an aggregate purchase price of $91.0 million, and retired all of these shares.
 
Under the Company’s current share repurchase program, the Board of Directors authorized repurchases of its outstanding ordinary shares for up to $500 million in accordance with the share repurchase mandate approved by the Company’s shareholders at the date of the most recent Extraordinary General Meeting held on August 20, 2015. As of July 1, 2016, shares in the aggregate amount of $151.1 million were available to be repurchased under the current plan.

13.  SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has four reportable segments: HRS, CTG, IEI, and CEC. These segments are determined based on several factors, including the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, customer base, delivery channels and similar economic characteristics. Refer to note 1 for a description of the various product categories manufactured under each of these segments.

An operating segment's performance is evaluated based on its pre-tax operating contribution, or segment income. Segment income is defined as net sales less cost of sales, and segment selling, general and administrative expenses, and does not include amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation, other charges (income), net and interest and other, net.

Selected financial information by segment is as follows:

14.  SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR AND NON-GUARANTOR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Flextronics International Ltd. (“Parent”) has three tranches of Notes of $500 million, $500 million, and $600 million, respectively, each outstanding, which mature on February 15, 2020, February 15, 2023 and June 15, 2025, respectively. These Notes are senior unsecured obligations, and are guaranteed, fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by certain of the Company’s 100% owned subsidiaries (the “guarantor subsidiaries”). These subsidiary guarantees will terminate upon 1) a sale or other disposition of the guarantor or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the guarantor (other than to the Parent or a subsidiary); 2) such guarantor ceasing to be a guarantor or a borrower under the Company’s Term Loan Agreement and the Revolving Line of Credit; 3) defeasance or discharge of the Notes, as provided in the Notes indenture; or 4) if at any time the Notes are rated investment grade, provided that each rating agency confirms that the Notes will continue to be rated investment grade after the Note Guaranties are terminated.
 
In lieu of providing separate financial statements for the guarantor subsidiaries, the Company has included the accompanying condensed consolidating financial statements, which are presented using the equity method of accounting. The principal elimination entries relate to investment in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions, including transactions with the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.
