TABLE OF CONTENTS
ITEM 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On October 5, 2005, Solectron Corporation (“Solectron”) announced its results of operations for its
fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended August 31, 2005. A copy of the Company’s press release
announcing such results dated October 5, 2005 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. This Form 8-K and
the attached exhibit are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Solectron includes the use of a non-GAAP financial measure in the attached exhibit. In accordance
with Item 10(e)(i) of Regulation S-K, Solectron is required to provide a statement disclosing the
reasons why management believes that presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful
information to investors regarding the Company’s results of operations.
Solectron management evaluates and makes certain operating decisions (e.g. inventory management,
site locations, personnel decisions) using various operating measures. These measures are
generally based on the revenues and certain costs of its operations, such as cost of goods sold and
selling, general and administrative expenses. One such measure is non-GAAP net income (loss),
which is a non-GAAP financial measure under Section 101 of Regulation G under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This measure consists of GAAP net income (loss) from continuing
operations excluding as applicable, restructuring charges (severance and benefits, excess
facilities and asset-related charges), an offset to revenue related
to a premium for a customer contract,
investment related losses (gains), impairment charges for goodwill, intangible assets and other
long-lived assets, and losses (gains) on the extinguishment of debt and other debt-related charges.
Non-GAAP net income (loss) is adjusted by the amount of additional taxes or tax benefit that the
company would accrue if it used non-GAAP results instead of GAAP results to calculate the company’s
tax liability.
Management believes it is useful to exclude restructuring charges in measuring Solectron’s
operations. Solectron has dramatically reduced headcount and facilities over the past three years.
As a result, in 2003, 2004 and 2005, Solectron’s GAAP statements of operations have included
significant charges related to such restructurings. Furthermore,
management believes an offset to
revenue related to a premium for a customer contract, investment related losses (gains), impairment
charges for goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, certain tax adjustments, and
losses (gains) on the extinguishment of debt and other debt-related charges, are infrequent events,
which make the results less comparable between reporting periods.
Management believes that non-GAAP net income (loss) provides useful supplemental information to
management and investors regarding the performance of the company’s business operations and
facilitates comparisons to our historical operating results. Management also uses this information
internally for forecasting and budgeting. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as
a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors and
potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures
contained within the attached press release with their most directly comparable GAAP financial
results.
