SANMINA-SCI CORPORATION

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Sanmina-SCI Corporation (“Sanmina-SCI”, “we”, “our”, “us”, “the Company”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to those rules or regulations. The interim financial statements are unaudited, but reflect all normal recurring adjustments and non-recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation.

 

The Company intends to sell its personal computing and associated logistics business (“PC Business”) and, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (SFAS 144), has reflected the PC Business as a discontinued operation in the condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

 

On February 17, 2008, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement with Foxteq Holdings, Inc. (“Foxteq”), pursuant to which Foxteq agreed to purchase certain assets and assume certain liabilities related to a portion of the Company’s PC Business. The agreement is expected to close in the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter ending September 27, 2008. See Note 12 for a discussion of Discontinued Operations.

 

On April 25, 2008, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Lenovo International Limited (“Lenovo”), pursuant to which Lenovo agreed to purchase certain assets and assume certain liabilities related to the Company’s PC Business located in Monterrey, Mexico. The transaction is expected to close in the Company’s third fiscal quarter ending June 28, 2008. See Note 12 for a discussion of Discontinued Operations.

 

Assets of the PC Business that are being sold to Foxteq or Lenovo have been presented with and included as assets held for sale in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 29, 2008. Unless noted otherwise, the following discussions in the notes to consolidated financial statements pertain to continuing operations.

 

Results of operations for the six months ended March 29, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full fiscal year.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 29, 2007, included in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 29, 2007 reflects a reclassification of $36.8 million from prepaid expenses and other current assets to assets held for sale, relating to real estate that is actively being marketed for sale as a result of the Company’s restructuring activities. This reclassification was made to conform to the current period’s condensed consolidated balance sheet presentation.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of FASB Statement No. 133 with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; how derivative instruments and the related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133 and its related interpretations; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 will be effective for the Company’s financial statements issued in fiscal 2009. The Company is currently assessing the possible impact of SFAS No. 161 on its results of operations and financial position.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations. SFAS 141(R) requires that the purchase method be used for all business combinations. This statement defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination, establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control and requires the acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest at their fair values as of the acquisition date. In addition, SFAS 141(R) requires capitalization of acquisition-related and restructure-related costs, remeasurement of earn out provisions at fair value, measurement of equity securities issued for purchase at the date of close of the transaction and capitalization of in-process research and development related intangibles. SFAS 141(R) is effective for the Company’s business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of fiscal year 2010.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51”, to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, which is sometimes referred to as minority interest, is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. It requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. This Statement establishes a single method of accounting for changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company’s financial statements issued in fiscal 2010. The Company is currently assessing the possible impact of SFAS No. 160 on its results of operations and financial position.

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. SFAS No. 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value accounting, but does not affect existing standards that require certain assets or liabilities to be carried at fair value. The objective of SFAS No. 159 is to improve financial reporting by providing companies with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. Under SFAS No. 159, a company may choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company’s financial statements issued in fiscal 2009. The Company is currently assessing the possible impact of SFAS No. 159 on its results of operations and financial position.

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Certain provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for the Company’s financial statements issued in fiscal 2009 and other provisions are effective in fiscal 2010. The Company is currently assessing the possible impact of SFAS No. 157 on its results of operations and financial position.

At March 29, 2008, an aggregate of 58.4 million shares were authorized for future issuance under our stock plans, which includes stock options, employee stock purchase plan and restricted stock awards. A total of 3.9 million shares of common stock were available for grant under our stock plans as of March 29, 2008. Awards that expire or are cancelled without delivery of shares generally become available for issuance under the plans.

 

Stock Options

 

The Company’s stock option plans provide employees the right to purchase common stock.  The Company’s policy is that the grant price be equal to the fair market value of such shares on the grant date. The Company recognizes compensation expense for such awards over the vesting period. The contractual term of all options is ten years. For option grants made prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R on October 2, 2005, the Company recognizes compensation expense using the multiple option approach.

 

For option grants made subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company recognizes compensation expense ratably (straight-line) over the vesting period.  The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the assumptions noted in the table below. The expected life of an option is estimated based primarily on observed historical exercise patterns. Expected volatility is estimated using an equally-weighted blend of historical volatility over the expected life of the options and implied volatilities from traded options on our stock having a life of more than six months. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield on a U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issue with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the option. The dividend yield reflects the Company’s history and intention of not paying dividends.

 

Assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options granted were as follows:

during these periods. The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value of in-the-money options based on the Company’s closing stock price of $1.62 as of March 28, 2008, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date.

 

As of March 29, 2008, there was $30.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options. This amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.31 years.

 

Restricted Stock Awards

 

The Company grants awards of restricted stock to executive officers, directors and certain management employees. These awards vest over periods ranging from one to four years.   Compensation expense associated with these awards is measured using the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant and is recognized ratably over the vesting period.

 

There were no restricted stock awards granted during the three and six months ended March 29, 2008 or March 31, 2007. At March 29, 2008, the amount of unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock awards was not material.

Restricted Stock Units

 

The Company issues restricted stock units to executive officers, directors and certain management employees. These awards vest over periods ranging from one to four years. The units are automatically exchanged for shares at each vesting date. Compensation expense associated with these awards is measured using the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant and is recognized ratably over the vesting period.

 

There were 384,585 and 444,585 restricted stock units granted during the three and six months ended March 29, 2008 with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $1.63 for both periods.  There were 4,627,074 restricted stock units granted during the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $3.55 for both periods. At March 29, 2008, unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock units was approximately $10.8 million. This amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.65 years. The number of shares granted, but unreleased, was approximately 5.0 million as of March 29, 2008.

Performance Restricted Stock Plan

 

In fiscal 2006, the Company’s Compensation Committee approved the issuance of approximately 2.5 million performance restricted stock units at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $4.02 per unit to selected executives and other key employees. The units are automatically exchanged for vested shares when certain performance targets are met.

 

The Company did not recognize compensation expense for the performance restricted stock units for the three and six months ended March 29, 2008 and March 31, 2007 since the Company did not meet the prescribed performance levels. As of March 29, 2008, unrecognized compensation expense to be recognized over the remaining one-year vesting term, assuming performance targets are achieved, was approximately $2.2 million.

 

Note 3.  Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes has been determined in accordance with FAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, Accounting Principles Board 28 (“APB 28”), Interim Financial Reporting, and FASB Interpretation 18 (“FIN 18), Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods. FAS 109 requires that the amount of income tax expense or benefit be allocated among continuing operations, discontinued operations, other comprehensive income, and items charged or credited directly to stockholders’ equity. The amount allocated to continuing operations is the tax effect of the pretax income or loss from continuing operations that occurred during the year, plus or minus income tax effects of changes in circumstances that cause a change in judgment about the realization of deferred tax assets in future years and changes in tax laws or rates. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 29, 2008 was 30.0%, compared to 11.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The effective tax rate for the six months ended March 29, 2008 was 31.0%, compared to 48.0% for the six months ended March 31, 2007.

 

The Company adopted FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”, on the first day of fiscal 2008. The Company applies FIN 48 to each income tax position accounted for under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, at each financial statement reporting date. This process involves the assessment of whether each income tax position is “more likely than not” of being sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation process, if any. For each income tax position that meets the “more likely than not” recognition threshold, the Company then assesses the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon effective settlement with the tax authority.

 

There was no cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48. Upon adoption of FIN 48, the Company decreased income taxes payable by $18.8 million and increased long-term income tax liabilities by the same amount based on its expectation that no cash payments will be made within 12 months. Of this amount, $18.2 million would, if recognized, affect the Company’s effective tax rate.

 

As of March 29, 2008, the Company had $21.3 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, of which $20.6 million would, if recognized, affect the Company’s effective tax rate.

 

Consistent with years prior to the adoption of FIN 48, the Company’s accounting policy is to classify interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of the date of adoption of FIN 48, the Company had accrued $2.7 million for the payment of interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits. The Company accrued an additional $0.4 million and $0.8 million of interest expense related to income tax liabilities during the three and six months ended March 29, 2008, respectively.

 

The Company files U.S. federal, U.S. state, and foreign tax returns.  The Company is generally no longer subject to tax examinations for years prior to 2003 for U.S. federal and state purposes, and for years prior to 2001 in foreign countries.

 

The Company does not anticipate a significant change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

Foreign currency translation adjustments for the three months ended March 29, 2008 were primarily attributable to a weakening of the US dollar against the Euro and other foreign currencies.

 

The net unrealized loss on derivative financial instruments as of March 29, 2008 was primarily related to the Company’s interest rate swap agreements associated with its Senior Floating Rate Notes due in 2014 (“2014 Notes”). These swap agreements are being accounted for as cash flow hedges; accordingly, changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income and recognized in earnings when the hedged interest expense is recognized.  The 2014 Notes were issued during the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

 

Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax as applicable, consisted of the following:

In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2007, after-tax interest expense of $2.3 million on convertible subordinated notes, and the related share equivalents of 11,639,694 upon conversion of the debt, were not included in the computation of diluted income per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive. The notes were repaid in full during fiscal 2007. After-tax interest expense of $5.0 million related to the 3% Convertible Subordinated Notes for the six months ended March 31, 2007 was not included in the computation of diluted income per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive.

On December 18, 2007, the Company redeemed $120.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its Senior Floating Rate Notes (“2010 Notes”) at par. Upon redemption, holders of the 2010 Notes received $120.0 million, plus $0.08 million of accrued and unpaid interest. Unamortized finance fees of approximately $2.2 million were expensed upon redemption of the 2010 Notes.

 

The Company is subject to certain financial and other covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, make investments, pay dividends, and sell assets.  The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants as of March 29, 2008.

 

Note 9.  Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation and other contingencies.  The Company is involved in a shareholder derivative action, and has received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s office and a formal order of investigation from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). At this time, the Company cannot predict what effect these matters may have. The amount of reserves relating to these matters as of March 29, 2008 was not material.

 

From time to time, the Company is a party to litigation and other contingencies, including examinations by taxing authorities, which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a contingent liability when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of loss is reasonably estimable in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”. The Company believes that the resolution of such litigation and other contingencies will not materially affect its business, financial condition or results of operations.

Environmental Matters.  Primarily as a result of certain acquisitions, the Company has exposures associated with environmental contamination at certain facilities. These exposures include ongoing investigation and remediation activities at a number of sites. The Company uses an environmental consultant to assist in evaluating the environmental costs of companies acquired as well as those associated with the Company’s ongoing operations, site contamination issues and historical disposal activities in order to establish appropriate accruals in the Company’s financial statements.

 

Sale-leaseback.  During the first six months of fiscal 2008, the Company entered into a sale leaseback transaction for certain fixed assets.  In connection with the transaction, fixed assets were sold for $26.5 million and simultaneously leased back under an operating lease for a period of three years.  Future minimum lease payments of $21.1 million are required during the lease term.

 

Note 10.  Restructuring Costs

 

Costs associated with restructuring activities, other than those activities related to business combinations, are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, and SFAS No. 112, Employers’ Accounting for Postemployment Benefits, as applicable. Pursuant to SFAS No. 112, restructuring costs related to employee severance are recorded when probable and estimable based on the Company’s policy with respect to severance payments. For all other restructuring costs, a liability is recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 146 only when incurred.  Costs associated with restructuring activities related to business combinations are accounted for in accordance with EITF 95-3, Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination.

 

During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company began Phase IV of its multi-phase restructuring strategy. Due to the immateriality of the remaining accrual balances related to prior phases, all phases have been combined for disclosure purposes.

During the three months ended March 29, 2008, the Company announced closure of a facility in Western Europe. Due to closure of this facility , the Company expects to incur costs of approximately $45.0 million to $50.0 million, consisting primarily of severance and other termination benefits for approximately 300 employees who were notified of their termination in April 2008. In connection with this announcement, the Company recorded restructuring costs of $35.8 million during the three months ended March 29, 2008, of which $35.3 million relates to severance and other termination benefits.

 

During the three and six months ended March 29, 2008, the Company recorded restructuring charges for employee termination benefits for approximately 1,000 terminated employees and 1,500 terminated employees, respectively.  The Company expects to pay remaining facilities related restructuring liabilities of $6.3 million through 2010, and the majority of severance costs of $42.3 million during the remainder of fiscal 2008. Of these amounts, $46.3 million was included in accrued liabilities and $2.3 million was included in other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

The recognition of restructuring charges requires the Company to make judgments and estimates regarding the nature, timing, and amount of costs associated with planned exit activities, including estimating sublease income and the fair values, less selling costs, of property, plant and equipment to be disposed of. The Company’s estimates of future liabilities may change, requiring it to record additional restructuring charges or reduce the amount of liabilities already recorded.

 

Note 11.  Business Segment, Geographic and Customer Information

 

SFAS No. 131, “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments, products and services, geographic areas of operations and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker or decision making group in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. As a result of the planned sale of its PC Business, the Company has only one reportable segment.

 

For the three months ended March 29, 2008, one customer represented 10.4% of consolidated revenue. For the six months ended March 29, 2008, no customer represented more than 10% of total consolidated revenues.

Note 12.  Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale

 

The Company’s PC Business consists of three customers, one of whom transitioned their business during the three months ended March 29, 2008 to a new third-party contract manufacturing provider as a result of the Company’s decision to exit the PC Business. The remaining portion of the Company’s PC Business is expected to be sold in two separate transactions.

Foxteq Transaction

 

On February 17, 2008, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Foxteq Holdings, Inc. (“Foxteq”), pursuant to which Foxteq will purchase certain assets of the Company’s PC Business located in Hungary, Mexico and the United States for total consideration equal to the net book value of the assets being sold plus a specified premium. In addition, Foxteq has agreed to pay the Company a contingent payment based on certain revenues generated during the 12 months following the closing date of the transaction. The Company anticipates that the proceeds from the sale will be between $80 million and $90 million, depending on the net book value of the assets at the time of the closing.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants by the Company regarding operation of the portion of the PC Business being purchased by Foxteq between the signing of the Purchase Agreement and the closing of the transaction, and indemnification provisions whereby each party agrees to indemnify the other, subject to certain limitations, for breaches of representations and warranties, breaches of covenants and other matters. In addition, subject to certain conditions, the Purchase Agreement provides that the Company will reimburse Foxteq for certain severance obligations relating to employees terminated by Foxteq within three months following the closing of the transaction or if Foxteq terminates certain other employees within twelve months following the closing of the transaction. The Company has also agreed to license to Foxteq certain technologies related to the operation of the PC Business.

 

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including those relating to the accuracy of representations and warranties, compliance with covenants, absence of any material adverse changes and the receipt of required regulatory and contractual approvals.  The transaction is expected to close in the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter ending September 27, 2008.

 

Lenovo Transaction

 

On April 25, 2008, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Lenovo (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. and Lenovo Centro Tecnologico, SdeRL de C.V. (“Lenovo”), pursuant to which Lenovo agreed to purchase certain assets and assume certain liabilities related to the Company’s PC Business located in Monterrey, Mexico for total consideration equal to the net book value of the assets being sold plus a specified premium. The transaction is expected to close in the Company’s third fiscal quarter ending June 28, 2008.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants by the Company regarding the operation of the business between the signing of the Purchase Agreement and the closing of the transaction, and indemnification provisions whereby each party agrees to indemnify the other for breaches of representations and warranties, breaches of covenants and other matters.

 

The transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including those relating to the accuracy of representations and warranties, compliance with covenants, absence of any material adverse changes, the receipt of contractual approvals, acceptance of employment with Lenovo of  a specified number of employees of the Company, amendment of certain Company contracts and entry into a transition services agreement among the Company, Lenovo and Foxteq for the provision of certain transitional services by Foxteq for a limited period following the closing of the transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the Company’s third fiscal quarter ending June 28, 2008.

 

The Company will continue to operate its PC Business until the sales transactions discussed above have been completed. Additionally, the Company expects that it or its assignor will provide certain transitional engineering, information technology and accounting services to the buyers for a period of approximately twelve months after the closing of the Lenovo transaction.

 

As of March 29, 2008, the Company concluded that the sale of its PC Business was probable and that all criteria under FAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets”, regarding assets held for sale and discontinued operations accounting had been met. Accordingly, the Company has reflected its PC Business as a discontinued operation in the condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. The Company does not expect to realize a significant gain or loss in connection with the sale of its PC Business.

The provision for income taxes has been determined in accordance with FAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, Accounting Principles Board 28 (“APB 28”), Interim Financial Reporting, and FASB Interpretation 18 (“FIN 18), Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods. FAS 109 requires that the amount of income tax expense or benefit be allocated among continuing operations, discontinued operations, other comprehensive income, and items charged or credited directly to stockholders’ equity. The amount allocated to continuing operations is the tax effect of the pretax income or loss from continuing operations that occurred during the year, plus or minus income tax effects of changes in circumstances that cause a change in judgment about the realization of deferred tax assets in future years and changes in tax laws or rates. The portion of income tax expense or benefit that remains after allocation to continuing operations is then allocated to discontinued operations, other comprehensive income and items charged or credited directly to stockholders’ equity.

 

The Company is only selling certain assets and liabilities of the PC Business. Assets of the PC Business that are expected to be sold have been reflected as assets held for sale in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 29, 2008. Liabilities to be assumed by the buyers of the PC Business have been reflected as “liabilities – discontinued operations” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 29, 2008.

 

Additionally, the Company has other assets, primarily buildings, not related to its PC Business that are also classified as held for sale in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Any gains or losses realized on sales of these assets, or write-downs of the assets to fair value less costs to sell, will be recorded as restructuring costs in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

As discussed above, the Company is not selling all assets and liabilities of its PC Business. The primary asset of the PC Business that is not being sold is accounts receivable generated by the PC Business through the date of closing of the Foxteq and Lenovo transactions. The Company will continue to collect these receivables in the normal course of business. Goodwill associated with the PC Business will be included in determination of the gain or loss on sale at the time the sale is completed. With respect to other assets not being sold in conjunction with the sale of the PC Business, the Company will either utilize these assets in its continuing operations or seek other buyers for them. Additionally, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities not being sold will be settled by the Company in the normal course of business.

 

The table below presents information with respect to assets and liabilities associated with the Company’s PC Business. Of these amounts, only the assets and liabilities being sold have been presented as held for sale in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 29, 2008.

These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including without limitation, those discussed in this section, those contained in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this report on Form 10-Q and those contained in Part I, Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk Factors Affecting Operating Results” in our Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter  ended December 29, 2007. We undertake no obligation to publicly disclose any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring subsequent to filing this report with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Overview

 

We are a leading independent global provider of customized, integrated electronics manufacturing services, or EMS. Our revenue is generated from sales of our services primarily to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, in the communications; enterprise computing and storage; multimedia; industrial and semiconductor capital equipment; defense and aerospace; medical and automotive industries.

 

In connection with our restructuring strategy, we intend to sell our PC and associated logistics services business (“PC Business”). Our PC Business consists of three customers, one of whom transitioned their business during the three months ended March 29, 2008 to a new third-party contract manufacturing provider as a result of our decision to exit the PC Business. The remaining portion of our PC Business is expected to be sold in two separate transactions.

 

On February 17, 2008, we entered into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Foxteq Holdings, Inc. (“Foxteq”). The Purchase Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions therein, Foxteq will purchase certain assets of our PC Business located in Hungary, Mexico and the United States for total consideration equal to the net book value of the assets being sold plus a specified premium.  In addition, Foxteq has agreed to pay us a contingent payment based on certain revenues generated during the 12 months following the closing date of the transaction. We anticipate that proceeds from the transaction will be between $80 million and $90 million, depending on the net book value of the assets at the time of the closing. The transaction is expected to close during our fourth fiscal quarter ending September 27, 2008.

 

On April 25, 2008, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Lenovo (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. and Lenovo Centro Tecnologico, SdeRL de C.V (“Lenovo”), pursuant to which Lenovo agreed to purchase certain assets and assume certain liabilities related to our PC Business located in Monterrey, Mexico for total consideration equal to the net book value of the assets being sold plus a specified premium. The transaction is expected to close in our third fiscal quarter ending June 28, 2008.

 

As of March 29, 2008, we have concluded that the sale of our PC Business is probable and that all other criteria under FAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets”, regarding assets held for sale and discontinued operations accounting have been met. Accordingly, we have reflected our PC Business as a discontinued operation in the condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. We do not expect to realize a significant gain or loss in connection with the sale of our PC Business. The assets and liabilities of the PC Business expected to be sold have been presented as held for sale in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 29, 2008. The sale of our PC Business will materially reduce our net sales, our operating income and our cash flows.  See Note 12 of the notes to consolidated condensed financial statements for further information.

Unless noted otherwise, the following discussions regarding our operating results pertain only to our continuing operations.

 

A relatively small number of customers have historically generated a significant portion of our net sales. Sales to our ten largest customers represented 50.2% and 48.8% of our net sales for the three and six months ended March 29, 2008, respectively. One customer represented 10% or more of our net sales during the three months ended March 29, 2008. No customer represented 10% or more of our net sales during the six months ended March 29, 2008. Sales to our ten largest customers represented 49.5% and 49.4% of our net sales for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively, and one customer represented 10% or more of our net sales during those periods.

 

In recent periods, we have generated a significant portion of our net sales from international operations. Consolidated net sales from international operations during the three months ended March 29, 2008 and March 31, 2007 were 68.0% and 65.5%, respectively. During the six months ended March 29, 2008 and March 31, 2007, 67.7% and 65.3%, respectively, of our consolidated net sales were derived from non-U.S. operations. The concentration of international operations has resulted from a desire on the part of many of our customers to source production in lower cost locations and regions such as Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe.

 

Historically, we have had substantial recurring sales to existing customers. We have also expanded our customer base through acquisitions. We typically enter into supply agreements with our major OEM customers. These agreements generally have terms ranging from three to five years and cover the manufacture of a range of products. Under these agreements, a customer typically agrees to purchase its requirements for particular products in particular geographic areas from us. These agreements generally do not obligate the customer to purchase minimum quantities of products.

 

We have experienced fluctuations in gross margins and in our results of operations in the past and may continue to experience such fluctuations in the future. Fluctuations in our gross margins may be caused by a number of factors, including pricing, changes in product mix, foreign currency exchange rate changes, competitive pressures, transition of manufacturing to lower cost locations, operational efficiency and overall business levels.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

We adopted FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”, at the beginning of fiscal 2008. FIN 48 involves an assessment of whether each of a company’s income tax positions is “more likely than not” of being sustained upon audit based on its technical merits. For each income tax position that meets the “more likely than not” threshold, a company then assesses the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon effective settlement with the taxing authority.

 

Upon adoption of FIN 48, we decreased current income taxes payable by $18.8 million and increased long-term income tax liabilities by the same amount, as cash payments of such amounts are not expected to be made within 12 months.

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We review the accounting policies used in reporting our financial results on a regular basis. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the process used to develop estimates for certain reserves and contingent liabilities, including those related to product returns, accounts receivable, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, restructuring, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ materially from these estimates.

 

For a complete description of our key critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 28, 2007.

The key performance measures in the above table were calculated using sales, cost of sales, accounts receivable, net; inventories and accounts payable relating only to our continuing operations.  We believe this method of calculation is appropriate since it excludes the impact of discontinued operations and provides a more meaningful measure of our continuing operations.

 


 

(1)

Days sales outstanding, or DSO, is calculated as the ratio of ending accounts receivable, net, to average daily net sales for the quarter.

 

 

(2)

Inventory turns (annualized) are calculated as the ratio of four times our cost of sales for the quarter to inventory at period end.

 

 

(3)

Accounts payable days is calculated as the ratio of 365 days divided by accounts payable turns, in which accounts payable turns is calculated as the ratio of four times our cost of sales for the quarter to accounts payable at period end.

 

 

(4)

Cash cycle days is calculated as the ratio of 365 days to inventory turns, plus days sales outstanding minus accounts payable days.

 

Results of Operations

 

Net Sales

 

Net sales for the three months ended March 29, 2008 increased to $1.82 billion, from $1.79 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Net sales increased by $44 million for our defense and aerospace end-market, $27 million for our communications end-market and $18 million for our multi-media end market, and decreased by $46 million for our high-end computing end-market and $9 million for our industrial and semiconductor capital equipment end-market.

 

Net sales for the six months ended March 29, 2008 decreased by 3.1% to $3.60 billion, from $3.71 billion for the six months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to reduced demand of approximately $135 million from our high-end computing end-market, $28 million from our industrial and semiconductor capital equipment end-market, $20

million from our medical end-market and $14 million from our communications end-market, partially offset by an increase of $78 million from our defense and aerospace end-market.

 

Gross Margin

 

Gross margin increased from 6.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to 6.9% for the three months ended March 29, 2008, and from 6.9% for the six months ended March 31, 2007 to 7.1% for the six months ended March 29, 2008. The increase for the three months ended March 29, 2008 was due to lower costs in our printed circuit board fabrication business resulting from plant closures and the consolidation of manufacturing activities in fewer plants, increased demand in our defense and aerospace business and a favorable change in product mix to more proprietary products in our memory modules business. These improvements were partially offset by reduced margins in our high volume EMS business due to start up costs for a new factory and in our enclosures business resulting from reduced demand. The increase in gross margin for the six months ended March 29, 2008 was due to higher margins in our defense and aerospace and printed circuit board fabrication businesses, partially offset by reduced margins in our enclosures business and our new product introduction/gateway business as a result of reduced demand. We expect gross margins to continue to fluctuate in the future based on overall production and shipment volumes and changes in the mix of products demanded by our major customers.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $9.8 million, from $89.1 million, or 5.0% of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2007, to $79.3 million, or 4.4% of net sales, for the three months ended March 29, 2008. For the six months ended March 29, 2008, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $168.4 million, or 4.7% of net sales, from $180.4 million, or 4.9% of net sales, for the six months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease for both periods was primarily attributable to headcount reductions in various corporate functions, reduced information technology infrastructure and related spending, reduced spending on audit and Sarbanes-Oxley fees, and lower expenses in connection with matters arising out of our stock option investigation and restatement.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses decreased $4.7 million, from $9.0 million, or 0.5% of net sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, to $4.3 million, or 0.2% of net sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. For the six months ended March 29, 2008, research and development expenses decreased to $8.9 million, or 0.2% of net sales, from $17.9 million, or 0.5% of net sales, for the six months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of net sales for all periods was primarily a result of our decision to realign original design manufacturing activities to focus on joint development activities.

 

Restructuring costs

 

In recent years, we have initiated restructuring plans in order to streamline our operations, reduce our cost structure, eliminate excess capacity, and relocate our operations to locations near our customers. These plans affected facilities across all services offered in our vertically integrated manufacturing organization. The majority of our restructuring charges were recorded as a result of plans related to facilities located in North America and Western Europe. In general, manufacturing activities at these plants were transferred to other facilities located in lower cost regions. Although we have implemented significant actions in connection with our restructuring activities, there are still actions we expect to take in order to complete our restructuring plans. We expect to record additional charges of approximately $20.0 million to $25.0 million related to these anticipated actions within the next six-to-twelve months.

 

During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we began Phase IV of our multi-phase restructuring strategy. Due to the immateriality of the remaining accrual balances related to prior phases, all phases have been combined for disclosure purposes.

During the three months ended March 29, 2008, we announced closure of a facility in Western Europe. Due to closure of this facility, we expect to incur costs of approximately $45.0 million to $50.0 million, consisting primarily of severance and other termination benefits for approximately 300 employees who were notified of their termination in April 2008. In connection with this announcement, we recorded restructuring costs of $35.8 million during the three months ended March 29, 2008, of which $35.3 million relates to severance and other termination benefits.

 

During the three and six months ended March 29, 2008, we recorded restructuring charges for employee termination benefits for approximately 1,000 terminated employees and 1,500 terminated employees, respectively. We expect to pay remaining facilities related restructuring liabilities of $6.3 million through 2010, and the majority of severance costs of $42.3 million during the remainder of fiscal 2008.

 

Restructuring costs of $48.6 million were accrued as of March 29, 2007, of which $46.3 million was included in accrued liabilities and $2.3 million was included in other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

The recognition of restructuring charges requires us to make judgments and estimates regarding the nature, timing, and amount of costs associated with the planned exit activities, including estimating sublease income and the fair values, less selling costs, of property, plant and equipment to be disposed of. Our estimates of future liabilities may change, requiring us to record additional restructuring charges or reduce the amount of liabilities already recorded.

 

We plan to fund cash restructuring costs with cash flows generated by operating activities.

 

Interest Income and Expense

 

Interest income decreased from $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $5.2 million for the three months ended March 29, 2008, and from $19.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2007 to $11.4 million for the six months ended March 29, 2008. The decrease for both periods is primarily attributable to lower interest rates on invested cash and the fact that during the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we borrowed $600.0 million to fund the repayment of certain debt obligations that matured in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Of the amount borrowed, $532.9 million was distributed to a Trustee and held in an escrow account until repayment of the debt. We earned interest while the cash was held in escrow. This decrease was partially offset by increased interest income resulting from a higher average cash and cash equivalents and investments balance during the first six months of fiscal 2008 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2007.

 

Interest expense decreased to $31.6 million for the three months ended March 29, 2008, from $45.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, and from $89.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2007 to $67.0 million for the six months ended March 29, 2008. The decrease for both periods is primarily attributable to the absence of interest expense during the first six months of fiscal 2008 on the $600 million unsecured term loan we drew down in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and repaid during the third quarter of fiscal 2007, lower interest rates during the first six months of 2008, decreased weighted average borrowings against our revolving credit facility during the first six months of fiscal 2008, no interest expense in the first six months of fiscal 2008 on our 3% Notes due to repayment of these notes during the second

quarter of fiscal 2007. These decreases were partially offset by interest expense incurred during the first six months of fiscal 2008 on the two $300 million Senior Floating Rate Notes issued during the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

 

Other Income (Expense), net

 

Other income (expense), net was $4.3 million and $(0.6) million for the three months ended March 29, 2008 and March 31, 2007, respectively, and $(0.4) million and $10.4 million for the six months ended March 29, 2008 and March 31, 2007, respectively.
