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.
One Marina Boulevard, #28-00
Singapore, 018989
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Flextronics
International Ltd. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of September 28, 2007, and the related
condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended
September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006, and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended September
28, 2007 and September 29, 2006. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the
Companys 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.
As more fully described in Note 13, Subsequent Events, on October 1, 2007, the Company
completed the acquisition of Solectron Corporation.
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, 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)
1. 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 11, Acquisitions and Divestitures and
Note 12, Discontinued Operations for further details.

Accounting for Business and Asset Acquisitions
The Company has actively pursued business and asset acquisitions, which are accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141). 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. 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.

Includes adjustments and reclassifications resulting from managements
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
$14.1 million was attributable to the Companys November 2006
acquisition of International DisplayWorks, Inc. (IDW). The
remaining amount was primarily attributable to other purchase
accounting adjustments and divestitures that were not individually
significant to the Company. Refer to the discussion of the Companys
acquisitions in Note 11, Acquisitions and Divestitures. |
During the six-month period ended September 28, 2007, there were approximately $43.7 million
of additions to intangible assets related to customer-related intangibles and approximately $15.5
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
8
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:

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.
As of September 28, 2007 and March 31, 2007, the Companys investments in non-majority owned
companies totaled $246.3 million and $250.5 million, respectively, of which $117.2 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 and six-month periods ended
September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006, and has been classified as a component of interest and
other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of September 28, 2007
and March 31, 2007, notes receivable from non-majority owned investments totaled $365.0 million and
$343.9 million, respectively, of which $126.9 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 7, Trade Receivables Securitization.
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
9
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 September 28,
2007, the Company had approximately $66.6 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.
3. 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 September 28, 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. On September 27, 2007, the Companys shareholders approved: i) an
increase in the shares available under its 2001 Equity Incentive Plan by 10.0 million ordinary
shares to 42.0 million ordinary shares, and ii) a 5.0 million increase in the amount of such
ordinary shares that may be issued as share bonus awards to 15.0 million ordinary shares. 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.

As of September 28, 2007, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock
options granted to employees under the Companys equity compensation plans was approximately
$54.2 million, net of estimated forfeitures of $4.0 million. This cost will be amortized on a
straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.8 years, and will be adjusted
for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures. As of September 28, 2007, the total unrecognized
compensation cost related to unvested share bonus awards granted to employees under the Companys
equity compensation plans was approximately $79.3 million, net of estimated forfeitures of
approximately $3.8 million. This cost will be amortized generally on a straight-line basis over a
weighted-average period of approximately 3.6 years, and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in
estimated forfeitures.
Determining Fair Value
The fair value of options granted to employees under the Companys equity compensation plans
during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006 was

Of the 5.7 million unvested share bonus awards granted under the Companys equity compensation
plans during the six-month period ended September 28, 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 $3.2
million and $12.7 million during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 28, 2007,
respectively, and $2.9 million and $3.0 million during the three-month and six-month periods ended
September 29, 2006, respectively.

Ordinary share equivalents from stock options to purchase
approximately 38.5 million and 38.4 million shares outstanding during

respectively, and 40.7 million and 40.8 million shares outstanding
during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 29, 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. |

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. Ordinary share equivalents from
the conversion spread have been included as common stock equivalents
for all periods presented. |
|
|
|
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. As the conversion obligation was less
than the principal portion of the Convertible Notes for all periods
presented, no additional shares were included as ordinary share
equivalents. |

6. BANK BORROWINGS AND LONG-TERM DEBT
On May 10, 2007, the Company entered into a new five-year $2.0 billion credit facility that
expires in May 2012, which replaced the Companys $1.35 billion credit facility previously existing
as of March 31, 2007. As of September 28, 2007 and March 31, 2007, there were no borrowings
outstanding under the $2.0 billion or $1.35 billion credit facilities, respectively. 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
September 28, 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 $5.9 million and $8.1 million of borrowings outstanding as of
September 28, 2007 and March 31, 2007, respectively. These credit facilities are unsecured and
require the Company to maintain a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDA, and a minimum
fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined, during their term. As of September 28, 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.
7. TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION
As of September 28, 2007 and March 31, 2007, approximately $573.8 million and $427.7 million
of the Companys accounts receivable, respectively, had been sold to a third-party qualified
special purpose entity, 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 $419.5 million and $334.0 million from unaffiliated financial institutions for the
sale of these receivables as of September 28, 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 $154.3 million and $93.7 million as of September 28, 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 $416.7 million and $398.7 million as of
September 28, 2007 and March 31, 2007, respectively.

8. 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 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 September 28, 2007 and March 31, 2007, assets that were no longer in use and held for
sale as a result of restructuring activities totaled approximately $16.0 million and $24.2 million,
respectively, primarily representing manufacturing facilities located in North America 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
six-month period ended September 28, 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 six-month period ended September 28, 2007.

balance as of September 28, 2007 for charges incurred in fiscal year 2008 and prior periods:

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,
15
including $0.5 million during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 29, 2006,
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, including $47.1 million during the three-month and six-month periods ended September
29, 2006, 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, including $48.0 million during the three-month and six-month periods ended September
29, 2006, was classified as a component of cost of sales. Other exit costs were primarily
comprised of contractual obligations amounting to approximately $27.1 million, including $22.9
million during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 29, 2006, customer
disengagement costs of approximately $28.5 million, including $22.9 million during the three-month
and six-month periods ended September 29, 2006, and approximately $5.6 million, including $2.2
million during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 29, 2006, 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.
9. OTHER INCOME, NET
During the six-month period ended September 28, 2007, the Company recognized a gain of
approximately $9.3 million primarily related to the release of cumulative foreign exchange
translation gains in connection with the divestiture of a certain international entity. The
results of operations of this entity were not significant for any period presented.
10. 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.
11. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
Acquisitions
The business and asset acquisitions described below were accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting pursuant to SFAS 141, 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 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.
16
The aggregate purchase price for the assets acquired was approximately $594.4 million, net of
closing costs. Approximately $138.5 million was paid during the six-month period ended September
29, 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 eight 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 September 28, 2007, management
estimates the allocation to be approximately $105.4 million to current assets, primarily comprised
of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable and inventory,
approximately $32.8 million to fixed assets and other assets, approximately $31.3 million to
identifiable intangible assets, primarily related to customer relationships and contractual
agreements with weighted-average useful lives of 8 years, approximately $194.8 million to goodwill,
and approximately $64.7 million to assumed liabilities, primarily accounts payable and other
current liabilities. The allocation of the purchase price to specific assets and liabilities is
subject to final purchase price adjustments.
Other Acquisitions
During the six-month period ended September 28, 2007, 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
capabilities for the automotive market segment. The aggregate purchase price for this acquisition
was not material. In addition, the Company paid approximately $8.9 million in cash for contingent
purchase price adjustments relating to certain historical acquisitions. 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 fiscal year 2009. Generally, the contingent consideration has
not been recorded as part of the purchase price, pending the outcome of the contingency.
During the six-month period ended September 29, 2006, the Company completed three acquisitions
that were not individually, or in the aggregate, significant to the Companys condensed
consolidated results for continuing operations and financial position. The acquired businesses
complement the Companys design and manufacturing services across multiple product offerings. The
aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions totaled approximately $101.5 million, of which
$85.6 million was paid in the six-month period ended September 29, 2006. The Company also paid
$18.1 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.
Pro forma results for the Companys acquisitions of Nortels operations in Calgary, Canada,
IDW, and its other acquisitions have not been presented for the three-month and six-month periods
ended September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006 as such results were not materially different from
the Companys actual results on either an individual or an aggregate basis.
17
Divestitures
In September 2006, the Company completed the sale of its Software Development and Solutions
business to Software Development Group (now known as Aricent), an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis
Roberts & Co. The divestiture resulted in a gain of approximately $171.2 million, net of
$10.0 million of estimated tax on the sale, which is included in income from discontinued
operations in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and
six-month periods ended September 29, 2006.
12. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
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 Companys
Software Development and Solutions business during the September 2006 quarter 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 and six-month periods ended September 29, 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 and six-month periods ended September
28, 2007, or assets or liabilities attributable to discontinued operations as of September 28, 2007
or March 31, 2007.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
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 agreed to
acquire Solectron in a cash and stock transaction. On October 1, 2007, the Company completed its
acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Solectron, a provider of value-added
electronics manufacturing and supply chain services to OEMs.
The results of Solectrons operations will be included in the Companys condensed consolidated
financial results beginning on October 1, 2007, the acquisition date.
The Company issued approximately 221.8 million of its ordinary shares and paid approximately
$1.1 billion in cash pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Company also assumed the
Solectron Corporation 2002
18
Stock Plan, including all options to purchase Solectron common stock with an exercise price
equal to or less than $5.00 per share of Solectron common stock outstanding under such plan. Each
option assumed was converted into an option to acquire the Companys ordinary share after applying
the 0.3450 exchange ratio. As a result, the Company assumed approximately 7.4 million fully vested
and unvested options to acquire the Companys ordinary shares with exercise prices ranging between
$5.45 and $14.41 per Flextronics ordinary share. Further, there are approximately 19.4 million
additional shares available for grant under the Solectron Corporation 2002 Stock Plan.
Pursuant to the purchase method of accounting, the fair value of each Flextronics ordinary
share issued was $11.36, which is based on an average of the Companys closing share prices for the
five trading days beginning two trading days before and ending two trading days after September 27,
2007, the date on which the number of the Companys ordinary shares to be issued was known. The
fair value of options assumed was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula.

The allocation of the purchase price to Solectrons tangible assets acquired and liabilities
assumed is subject to completion of a formal valuation process and review by management, which has
not yet been completed because such amounts cannot be estimated at this time.
Acquisition Related Debt
In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into a $1.759 billion term loan
facility, dated as of October 1, 2007 (the Term Loan Agreement). The term loan facility was
provided for the purposes of consummating the acquisition, to pay the applicable repurchase or
redemption price for Solectrons 8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 and 0.5% Senior Convertible
Notes due 2034 assumed by the Company in connection with the acquisition (the Solectron Notes),
and to pay any related fees and expenses including acquisition-related costs.
On October 1, 2007, the Company borrowed $1.109 billion under the facility to pay the cash
consideration in the acquisition and acquisition related fees and expenses. Of this amount, $500.0
million matures five years from the date of the Term Loan Agreement and the remainder matures in
seven years. The remaining $650.0 million of the term loan facility is available for 90 days from
closing and may be drawn on up to three occasions (the Delayed Draw Facility). The maturity date
of any Delayed Draw Facility loans will be seven years from the date of the Term Loan Agreement.
Loans will amortize in quarterly installments in an amount equal to 1% per annum with the balance
due at the end of the fifth or seventh year, as applicable. The Company may prepay the loans at
any time at 100% of par for any loan with a five year maturity and at 101% of par for the first
year and 100% of par thereafter, for any loan with a seven year maturity, in each case plus accrued
and unpaid interest and reimbursement of the lenders redeployment costs.
Borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement bear interest, at the Companys option, either at (i)
the base rate (the greater of the agents prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%) plus a
margin of 1.25%; or (ii) LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25%. In addition, during the period that the
Delayed Draw Facility is available, the Company is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee
ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum on the unutilized portion of the Delayed Draw Facility,
depending on the date of determination.
The Term Loan Agreement is unsecured, and contains customary restrictions on the ability of
the Company and its subsidiaries to (i) incur certain debt, (ii) make certain investments, (iii)
make certain acquisitions of other entities,
19
(iv) incur liens, (v) dispose of assets, (vi) make non-cash distributions to shareholders, and
(vii) engage in transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of
significant exceptions and limitations. The Term Loan Agreement also requires that the Company
maintain a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDA, during the term of the Term Loan
Agreement. Borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and certain of
its subsidiaries.
On October 1, 2007, Flextronics commenced a change in control repurchase offer, as required by
the 8% Notes Indenture, pursuant to which Flextronics offered to repurchase any and all of the
$150.0 million principal amount of the 8% Notes outstanding at a purchase price equal to 101% of
the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Any 8% Notes tendered pursuant to
the repurchase offer were to be repurchased on October 31, 2007. Separately, Flextronics notified
holders of the outstanding 8% Notes that it was exercising its right to redeem the 8% Notes prior
to maturity pursuant to the optional redemption procedures provided for under the 8% Notes
Indenture. Any 8% Notes that were not repurchased pursuant to the change in control repurchase
offer were to be redeemed on October 31, 2007 at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i)
100% of the principal amount of the 8% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and (ii) the
make-whole premium provided for under the 8% Notes Indenture, plus, to the extent not included in
the make-whole premium, accrued and unpaid interest. On October 31, 2007, $1.5 million of the 8%
Notes were repurchased pursuant to the repurchase offer and $148.5 million of the 8% Notes were
redeemed by the Company for an aggregate repurchase and redemption price of approximately $171.6
million. As indicated above, the Delayed Draw Facility provides for up to $650.0 million to
repurchase or redeem the Solectron Notes and for related expenses. On October 15, 2007, the
Company borrowed $175.0 million under the Delayed Draw Facility.
On October 31, 2007, Flextronics commenced change in control repurchase offers, as required by
the Convertible Notes Indentures, pursuant to which the Company offered to repurchase any and all
of the $450.0 million principal amount of Convertible Notes outstanding at a purchase price equal
to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the
date of repurchase. The Company expects to repurchase the Convertible Notes tendered pursuant to
these repurchase offers on December 14, 2007.
Restructuring Charges
On November 2, 2007, executive management of the Company committed to various restructuring
activities to be undertaken in connection with the Companys acquisition of Solectron. The costs
associated with the restructuring and integration activities are related to operations that were
associated with the Company prior to its acquisition of Solectron, and are centered on the global
footprint rationalization and elimination of redundant assets or unnecessary functions resulting
from the combination of the two companies.
Total restructuring charges are estimated to range between $430.0 million and $500.0 million
and are expected to be recognized during the next 12 months. The associated restructuring
activities encompass over twenty five different manufacturing locations and are focused on reducing
excess workforce and capacity, consolidating and relocating certain manufacturing facilities, and
certain other administrative consolidations. These restructuring activities involve multiple
actions at each location and will be completed in multiple steps, some of which are underway and
others of which will commence shortly. The estimated restructuring charges are comprised of the
following items:

The employee related costs are primarily attributable to cash employee termination costs
associated with the involuntary terminations of approximately 7,000 identified employees in
connection with the various facility closures and consolidations, and are expected to be paid
within approximately one year.
Contractual obligations costs are primarily comprised of charges associated with facility
lease termination costs, equipment lease termination costs and certain other contractual
commitments. Of the total charges associated with
20
contractual obligations, approximately $65.0 million to $85.0 million is expected to be paid
in cash within approximately one year. The facility closures and activities to which all of these
charges relate are expected to be completed within one year, except for certain long-term
contractual obligations.
The non-cash asset impairment charges are primarily associated with the write-down of
property, plant and equipment. All associated asset impairments reflect the write-down to
managements estimate of fair value.
Deferred Tax Assets
In connection with the Companys acquisition of Solectron, the Company also re-evaluated
previously recorded deferred tax assets in the United States, which are primarily comprised of tax
loss carry forwards. Management believes that the likelihood that certain deferred tax assets will
be realized has decreased because the Company expects future projected taxable income in the United
States will be lower as a result of increased interest expense resulting from the term loan entered
into as part of the acquisition of Solectron. Accordingly, the Company expects to recognize tax
expense of approximately $640.0 million to $650.0 million during the quarter ended December 31,
2007. There is no incremental cash expenditure relating to this increase in tax expense.

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 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
$5.6 billion and $10.7 billion during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 28,
2007, respectively, and $18.9 billion during fiscal year 2007. As of March 31, 2007, 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 six-month period ended September 28, 2007,
net sales from continuing operations in Asia, the Americas and Europe represented approximately
61%, 23% and 16%, respectively, of total net sales from continuing operations.
We believe that the combination of 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
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 has escalated as
an increasing number of OEMs have outsourced some or all of their design and manufacturing
requirements. Price pressure on 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 global capacity and infrastructure with the demands of
customers to optimize the operating efficiencies that can be provided by a global presence. These
realignments have shifted manufacturing capacity to locations with higher efficiencies and, in most
instances, lower costs, thereby enhancing our ability to provide cost-effective manufacturing
services and have allowed us to retain and expand
22
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 global capacity and infrastructure.
Our operating results are affected by a number of factors, including the following:
|
|
|
integration of acquired businesses and facilities; |
|
|
|
|
our customers may not be successful in marketing their products, their products may not
gain widespread commercial acceptance, and their products have short product life cycles; |
|
|
|
|
our customers may cancel or delay orders or change production quantities; |
|
|
|
|
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 manufacturing capacity, seasonal demand, shortages of
components and other factors; |
|
|
|
|
our increased design services and components offerings may reduce 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 OEM
customers; and |
|
|
|
|
managing growth and changes in operations. |
Solectron Acquisition
We have actively pursued acquisitions and purchases of manufacturing facilities, design and
engineering resources and technologies in order to expand worldwide operations, broaden service
offerings, diversify and strengthen customer relationships, and enhance our competitive position as
a leading provider of comprehensive outsourcing solutions. On October 1, 2007, we completed the
acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Solectron Corporation (Solectron) in a
stock and cash transaction valued at approximately $3.6 billion. In connection with the
acquisition, we issued approximately 221.8 million of the Companys ordinary shares, paid
approximately $1.1 billion in cash and entered into a $1.759 billion term loan facility to finance
the cash portion of the acquisition including related fees and expenses, and to refinance certain
of Solectrons outstanding debt assumed in the acquisition. As a result of the acquisition, we
expect to incur restructuring charges ranging between $430.0 million and $500.0 million associated
with integration and restructuring activities related to operations that were associated with the
Company prior to its acquisition of Solectron, and tax expense of approximately $640.0 million to
$650.0 million from the re-evaluation of previously recorded deferred tax assets in the United
States. Refer to Note 13, Subsequent Events to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
for further discussion.
The results of Solectrons operations will be included in our consolidated financial results
beginning October 1, 2007.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
We believe the following accounting policy, which was identified as critical as a result of
the acquisition of Solectron, together with those discussed under Item 7, Managements Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used
in the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accounting for Business and Asset Acquisitions
We have actively pursued business and asset acquisitions, which are accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting in accordance with Statement of SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations
(SFAS 141). The fair value of the net assets acquired and the results of the acquired businesses
are included in the Condensed Consolidated
23
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.
We estimate the preliminary fair value of acquired assets and liabilities as of the date of
acquisition based on information available at that time. 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.

Net Sales
Net sales during the three-month period ended September 28, 2007 totaled $5.6 billion,
representing an increase of $0.9 billion, or 18.2%, from $4.7 billion during the three-month period
ended September 29, 2006, primarily due to new program wins from various customers across multiple
markets. Sales increased across the following markets we serve; (i) $389.5 million in the
telecommunications infrastructure market, (ii) $193.4 million in the computing market, (iii) $136.8
million in the industrial, medical, automotive and other markets, (iv) $99.6 million in the
consumer digital market, and (v) $35.5 million in the mobile communications market. Net sales
during the three-month period ended September 28, 2007 increased by $475.4 million, $217.1 million
and $162.3 million in Asia, the Americas and Europe, respectively.
24
Net sales during the six-month period ended September 28, 2007 totaled $10.7 billion,
representing an increase of $2.0 billion, or 22.3%, from $8.8 billion during the six-month period
ended September 29, 2006, primarily due to new program wins from various customers across multiple
markets. Sales increased across the following markets we serve; (i) $827.3 million in the
telecommunications infrastructure market, (ii) $417.9 million in the mobile communications market,
(iii) $297.6 million in the industrial, medical, automotive and other markets, (iv) $283.2 million
in the consumer digital market, and (v) $126.6 million in the computing market. Net sales during
the six-month period ended September 28, 2007 increased by $1.1 billion, $582.5 million and $231.5
million in Asia, the Americas and Europe, respectively.
Our ten largest customers during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 28,
2007 accounted for approximately 60% and 61% of net sales, respectively, with Sony-Ericsson
accounting for greater than 10% of net sales for both periods. Our ten largest customers during
the three-month and six-month periods ended September 29, 2006 accounted for approximately 68% and
67% of net sales, respectively, with Hewlett-Packard and Sony-Ericsson each accounting for greater
than 10% of net sales for both periods.
Gross Profit
Gross profit during the three-month period ended September 28, 2007 increased $135.4 million
to $313.8 million, or 5.6% of net sales, from $178.4 million, or 3.8% of net sales, during the
three-month period ended September 29, 2006. The 180 basis point period-over-period improvement in
gross margin was attributable to a 200 basis points decrease in restructuring and other charges
recognized during the three-month period ended September 29, 2006, offset by a 20 basis point
increase in cost of sales during the three-month period ended September 28, 2007 related to a
change in customer and product mix, and higher start-up and integration costs associated with
multiple new large scale programs.
Gross profit during the six-month period ended September 28, 2007 increased $180.2 million to
$594.6 million, or 5.5% of net sales, from $414.4 million, or 4.7% of net sales, during the
six-month period ended September 29, 2006. The 80 basis point period-over-period improvement in
gross margin was attributable to a decrease of 100 basis points in restructuring and other charges
for the six-month period ended September 28, 2007, offset by a 20 basis point increase in cost of
sales during the six-month period ended September 28, 2007 related to a change in customer and
product mix, and higher start-up and integration costs associated with multiple new large scale
programs.
Restructuring Charges
During the six-month period ended September 28, 2007, we recognized restructuring charges of
approximately $10.7 million for severance associated with the consolidation of a manufacturing
facility in Europe. Approximately $9.8 million of the charges were classified as a component of
cost of sales.
During the three-month and six-month periods ended September 29, 2006, we recognized charges
of approximately $96.2 million related to the impairment, lease termination, exit costs and other
charges primarily related to the disposal and exit of certain real estate owned and leased by us in
order to reduce our investment in property, plant and equipment. Approximately $95.7 million of the
charges were classified as a component of cost of sales. During the three-month and six-month
periods ended September 30, 2006, charges recognized by reportable geographic region amounted to
$59.0 million, $22.5 million and $14.7 million for the Americas, Asia and Europe, respectively.
As of September 28, 2007, accrued severance and facility closure costs related to
restructuring charges incurred during the six-month period ended September 28, 2007 and prior were
approximately $52.0 million, of which approximately $20.4 million was classified as a long-term
obligation.
Refer to Note 8, Restructuring Charges of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements for further discussion of our historical restructuring activities.
25
On November 2, 2007, executive management committed to various restructuring activities to be
undertaken in connection with our acquisition of Solectron. The costs associated with the
restructuring and integration activities are related to operations that were associated with the
Company prior to its acquisition of Solectron, and are centered on the global footprint
rationalization and elimination of redundant assets or unnecessary functions resulting from the
combination of the two companies. Total restructuring charges are estimated to range between
$430.0 and $500.0 million and are expected to be recognized during the next 12 months. Refer to
our discussion of Restructuring Activities in Note 13, Subsequent Events to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, amounted to $152.6 million, or 2.7% of
net sales, during the three-month period ended September 28, 2007, compared to $148.3 million, or
3.2% of net sales, during the three-month period ended September 29, 2006. SG&A amounted to $299.1
million, or 2.8% of net sales, during the six-month period ended September 28, 2007, compared to
$267.5 million, or 3.1% of net sales, during the six-month period ended September 29, 2006. The
increases in SG&A during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 28, 2007 were
primarily attributable to business and asset acquisitions over the past 12 months, and continued
investments in resources necessary to support 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 and six-month periods ended
September 28, 2007 was primarily attributable to higher net sales.
Intangible Amortization
Amortization of intangible assets during the three-month period ended September 28, 2007
increased by $5.2 million to $13.7 million from $8.5 million during the three-month period ended
September 29, 2006. The increase in expense during the three-month period ended September 28, 2007
was attributable to the amortization of intangible assets acquired over the 12 months ended
September 28, 2007, which were primarily related to certain acquired licenses and the acquisitions
of IDW and other smaller businesses that were not individually significant to our condensed
consolidated results.
Amortization of intangible assets during the six-month period ended September 28, 2007
increased by $14.7 million to $30.4 million from $15.7 million during the six-month period ended
September 29, 2006. The increase in expense during the six-month period ended September 28, 2007
was attributable to the amortization of intangible assets acquired over the 12 months ended
September 28, 2007, which were primarily related to certain acquired licenses and the 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 six-month period ended September 28, 2007 we recognized a gain of approximately
$9.3 million primarily related to the release of cumulative foreign exchange translation gains in
connection with the divestiture of a certain international entity.
Interest and Other Expense, Net
Interest and other expense, net was $16.2 million during the three-month period ended
September 28, 2007 compared to $31.1 million during the three-month period ended September 29,
2006, a decrease of $14.9 million. Interest and other expense, net was $31.7 million during the
six-month period ended September 28, 2007 compared to $60.3 million during the six-month period
ended September 29, 2006, a decrease of $28.6 million. The decreases in expense are primarily the
result of lower average debt balances, and interest and other income earned on the $250.0 million
face value promissory note and certain other agreements received in connection with the divestiture
of the Software Development and Solutions business during the second quarter of fiscal year 2007.
26
Income Taxes
Certain 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 7.9% and 5.7% during the three-month and six-month
periods ended September 29, 2007, respectively.
The tax benefit during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 29, 2006 includes
an approximate $23.0 million tax benefit related to the $96.2 million of impairment, lease
termination, exit costs and other charges primarily related to the disposal and exit of certain
real estate owned and leased by us in order to reduce our investment in property, plant and
equipment.
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 a current analysis
of the realizability of these deferred tax assets, as well as certain tax holidays and incentives
granted to subsidiaries primarily in China, Hungary, and Malaysia.
In evaluating the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider 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. In connection with our
acquisition of Solectron on October 1, 2007, we re-evaluated previously recorded deferred tax
assets in the United States, which are primarily comprised of tax loss carry forwards, and as a
result we expect to recognize tax expense of approximately $640.0 to $650.0 million during the
quarter ended December 31, 2007. There is no incremental cash expenditure relating to this
increase in tax expense. Refer to our discussion of Deferred Tax Assets in Note 13, Subsequent
Events to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
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). We adopted FIN 48 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 and did not recognize any
adjustments to the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the implementation of FIN
48. Refer to our discussion of Recent Accounting Pronouncements under Note 2, Summary of
Accounting Policies to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES CONTINUING AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
As of September 28, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.0 billion and bank and other
borrowings of $1.5 billion. 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 September 28, 2007. The $2.0 billion credit facility and other various credit facilities are
subject to compliance with certain financial covenants. As of September 28, 2007, we were in
compliance with the financial covenants under our indentures and credit facilities. Working capital
as of September 28, 2007 and March 31, 2007 was approximately $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion,
respectively.
Cash provided by operating activities amounted to $515.9 million during the six-month period
ended September 28, 2007, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $49.2 million during

Liquidity is affected by many factors, some of which are based on normal ongoing operations of
the business and some of which arise from fluctuations related to global economics and markets.
Cash balances are generated and held in many locations throughout the
world. Local government regulations may restrict the ability to move cash
29
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
the global organization.
Working capital requirements and capital expenditures could continue to increase in order to
support future expansions of operations, including our recent acquisition of Solectron. 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.
On October 1, 2007, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common stock of
Solectron by issuing approximately 221.8 million of our ordinary shares and paying approximately
$1.1 billion in cash. In connection with the acquisition, we entered into a $1.759 billion term
loan facility, dated as of October 1, 2007, to fund the cash portion of the consideration, pay
acquisition related costs, and to refinance certain of Solectrons outstanding long-term debt
assumed by the Company. On October 1, 2007, we borrowed $1.109 billion under the facility to pay
the cash consideration in the acquisition and acquisition-related fees and expenses. On October
15, 2007, we borrowed $175.0 million under the facility to repurchase and redeem Solectrons 8%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016. On October 31, 2007, Flextronics commenced change in control
repurchase offers for Solectrons $450.0 million outstanding principal amount of 0.5% Senior
Convertible Notes, which we expect to repurchase on December 14, 2007. The remaining $475.0
million of the term loan facility is available to repurchase these notes together with related
expenses. Assuming we borrowed the entire amount available under the term loan facility, as of
September 28, 2007, the combined company would have had approximately $3.2 billion in total
long-term debt outstanding on a pro-forma basis. Additionally, we expect to pay between $500.0
million and $550.0 million in cash during the year commencing with the closing of the acquisition
for aggregate costs relating to restructuring and integration activities for global footprint
rationalization and elimination of redundant assets or unnecessary functions. These payments
include estimated amounts that relate to our estimated restructuring charges for operations that
were associated with the Company prior to its acquisitions of Solectron, and for activities that
will be recorded as liabilities assumed from Solectron. Refer to Note 13, Subsequent Events of
the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Historically, we have funded 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 accounts receivable to certain third-party banking
institutions with limited recourse, and 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.
We believe that existing cash balances, together with anticipated cash flows from operations
and borrowings available under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund operations through
at least the next twelve months.
It is possible that other future acquisitions may also be significant and may require the
payment of cash. 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 current
shareholders. Further, we may issue debt securities that have rights and privileges senior to those
of holders of ordinary shares, and the terms of this debt could impose restrictions on operations
and could increase debt service obligations. 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 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 ordinary shares.

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 Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2007. As previously discussed, on October 1, 2007, we entered into a $1.759
billion term loan facility in connection with the acquisition of Solectron to fund the cash portion
of the consideration, pay acquisition related costs, and to refinance certain of Solectrons
outstanding long-term debt assumed by the Company. As a result, our contractual obligations for
long-term debt and related interest will increase materially from the amounts disclosed as of March
31, 2007. Refer to Note 13, Subsequent Events of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements for further details.
We currently expect there will be no further material changes in our contractual obligations
that are outside the ordinary course of business since March 31, 2007 as a result of the
acquisition of Solectron.
We adopted FIN 48 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 and did not recognize any
adjustments to the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the implementation of FIN
48. As of September 28, 2007, we had approximately $66.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits,
which, if recognized, would affect tax expense. These unrecognized tax benefits were not included
in our discussion of contractual obligations as of March 31, 2007. 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
September 28, 2007, substantially all of these unrecognized tax benefits were classified as
long-term.
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 six-month period ended September 28, 2007 as compared to
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of 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 September 28, 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 September 28, 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
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 internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the
second quarter of fiscal year 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, 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 and in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in Solectrons Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the years ended August 25, 2006 and in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in
Solectrons Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 1, 2007, which could materially affect our
business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K and in Solectrons Form 10-K and 10-Q are not the only risks facing the 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 acquisition of Solectron, we are subject to the following risks
related to the acquisition:
The Company expects to incur significant restructuring charges and other costs associated with the
acquisition.
As discussed under Restructuring Activities in Note 13, Subsequent Events to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company expects to incur estimated total restructuring
charges ranging between $430.0 and $500.0 million during the next 12 months for costs associated
with restructuring and integration activities in connection with the Companys acquisition of
Solectron. Further, the Company expects to incur other significant costs for integrating the
businesses and operations of Flextronics and Solectron that will be recorded as liabilities assumed
from Solectron, with a corresponding increase in goodwill and no impact on operating results. The
Company expects to pay between $500.0 and $550.0 million in the aggregate for all costs relating to
these restructuring and integration activities. There can be no assurance that we will not incur
additional charges in subsequent quarters to reflect additional costs associated with 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.
We may take additional substantial restructuring charges in the future, which may have a material
adverse impact on operating results.
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 we are required to take restructuring charges in the future that are
in addition to those discussed under Restructuring Activities in Note 13, Subsequent Events to
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the charges could have a material adverse impact
on our operating results, financial position and cash flows.
We may not realize the expected benefits of the acquisition due to difficulties integrating the
businesses, operations and product lines of Flextronics and Solectron.
We believe that the acquisition of Solectron will result in certain benefits, including
certain cost and operating synergies and operational efficiencies. However, our 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 the combined companys business if not completed in a timely and efficient manner. The
combined company may not realize the expected benefits of the acquisition for a variety of reasons,
including but not limited to the following:
32
|
|
|
failure to demonstrate to customers and suppliers that the acquisition 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 acquisition may cause a loss of employees and may otherwise
materially adversely affect future business and operations.
Our success after the acquisition will depend in part upon the ability to retain key
employees. Current and prospective employees may be uncertain about their roles following the
acquisition, which may have a material adverse affect on the ability of the combined company 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 Flextronics following the merger. The loss of services
of any key personnel or the inability to hire new personnel with the requisite skills could
restrict our ability to develop new products or enhance existing products in a timely manner, to
sell products to customers or to manage the business of the combined company effectively.
The combined companys increased debt may create limitations.
Flextronics entered into a $1.759 billion term loan facility, dated as of October 1, 2007,
upon completion of the acquisition of Solectron, to pay the cash portion of the acquisition
consideration, pay acquisition related costs, and to refinance certain of Solectrons outstanding
long-term debt assumed by the Company. Assuming the Company borrowed the entire amount available
under the term loan facility, as of September 28, 2007, the combined company had approximately $3.2
billion in total long-term debt outstanding on a pro forma basis. This increased indebtedness could
limit our flexibility as a result of debt service requirements and restrictive covenants, and may
limit our ability to access additional capital or execute business strategy.
