This excerpt taken from the FLEX 8-K filed Apr 27, 2006. AND FISCAL YEAR RESULTS Singapore, April 27, 2006 Flextronics (NASDAQ: FLEX) today announced results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. As announced last week, Flextronics entered into a definitive agreement to sell its software development and solutions business to an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. As such, the software business and the semiconductor division, which was divested by Flextronics in September 2005, are being treated as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements. The network services division that was also divested by Flextronics in September 2005 does not meet the criteria for discontinued operations treatment under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and as such its historical results remain in continuing operations.
This excerpt taken from the FLEX 8-K filed Oct 25, 2005. Second Quarter 2006 Results
Net sales for the second quarter ended September 30, 2005 were $3.9 billion compared to $4.1 billion in the year ago quarter.
Excluding intangibles amortization, restructuring and other charges, net income for the second quarter ended September 30, 2005 increased 3% to $101.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared with $98.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share in the year ago quarter. After-tax amortization, restructuring and other charges amounted to $103.8 million in the second quarter ended September 30, 2005 compared to $5.9 million in the year ago quarter, resulting in a GAAP net loss of $2.4 million, or nil earnings per diluted share in the second quarter ended September 30, 2005, as compared to net income of $92.6 million, or $0.16 per diluted share in the year ago quarter.
Return on Invested Tangible Capital (ROITC) increased to 27% in the second quarter ended September 30, 2005 from 24% in the year ago quarter. The Companys cash conversion cycle decreased to 16 days in the second quarter ended September 30, 2005 from 20 days in the previous sequential quarter. Excluding intangibles amortization, restructuring and other charges, operating margin increased 20 basis points to 3.4% in the second quarter ended September 30, 2005 from 3.2% in the year ago quarter, representing the 8th consecutive quarter of year-over-year operating margin improvement.
The Company ended the quarter with a record high $1.2 billion in cash, up from $830 million at the end of the previous sequential quarter. Total debt has decreased by $197 million since the end of the previous sequential quarter. Net debt amounted to $439 million at the end of the September 2005 quarter and has been reduced by $517 million since the end of the previous sequential quarter. Free cash flow, which is cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, generated $327 million in the second quarter ended September 30, 2005, which closely approximated the $339 million used to fund acquisitions during the quarter. The previously announced divestitures of the Network Services and Semiconductor divisions generated $519 million, which closely approximated the $197 million reduction in debt and the $320 million increase in cash in the second quarter ended September 30, 2005.
With regard to the September quarter operating results, Michael E. Marks, Chief Executive of Flextronics stated, We are extremely pleased with our working capital management and cash flows for the quarter. To this end, we are pleased that we were able to reduce our cash conversion cycle to 16 days from 20 days in the previous quarter. Our cash also increased by $320 million and our debt decreased by $197 million from the end of the previous quarter while our cash flow from operations of $381 million was sufficient to fund our capital expansion and acquisition activity during the quarter. We were also able to increase operating margins for the eighth consecutive quarter on a year-over-year basis.
As previously announced, Flextronics merged its Network Services division with Telavie, a company wholly-owned by Altor 2003 Fund, a Nordic private equity firm. Flextronics received an upfront cash payment along with deferred and contingent payments, and has retained a 30% ownership stake in the merged company. Flextronics has also sold its semiconductor division to AMIS Holdings, the parent company of AMI Semiconductor. Both divestitures closed during the September 2005 quarter. Flextronics received cash payments of $519 million in the quarter for these divestitures which resulted in a pretax gain of $71 million. In connection with these
divestitures, the Company recognized a non-cash tax expense of $99 million associated with the utilization of deferred tax assets, resulting in an after-tax non-cash loss of $28 million.
Marks concluded by saying, Our year-over-year revenue comparisons are adversely impacted by the divestitures of our Network Services and Semiconductor divisions along with the impact from two European OEM customers divesting their cell phone businesses during the past year. We expect the December 2005 quarter revenue comparison to be the last quarter adversely impacted by these customer actions.

Net sales for the first quarter ended June 30, 2005 were $3.9 billion, which represents an increase of $17 million over the June 2004 quarter.

charges amounted to $41 million in the current quarter compared to $4 million in the year ago quarter. As a result, GAAP net income for the first quarter decreased by $15.6 million to $58.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, as compared to $74.3 million, or $0.13 per diluted share in the year ago quarter.
Return on Invested Tangible Capital (ROITC) increased to 25% in the June 2005 quarter from 18% in the prior year comparable quarter while Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) increased to 9% in the June 2005 quarter from 8% in the prior year comparable quarter. The Companys cash conversion cycle was 20 days in the quarter. Excluding restructuring charges, operating margin increased year-over-year for the seventh consecutive quarter to 3.4%.
The Company ended the quarter with $830 million in cash, an increase of $165 million from June 30, 2004 while total debt has decreased by $217 million over the same period. This represents a net debt reduction of $382 million during the last 12 months.
With regard to the June quarter operating results, Michael E. Marks, Chief Executive of Flextronics stated, We remain focused on achieving our goal of Return on Invested Capital of 15% through improving profitability, asset utilization and cash flow. To this end, we are pleased that we were able to increase our operating margins for the seventh consecutive quarter on a year-over-year basis. This improvement reflects the results of our vertically integrated EMS offering as well as our relentless effort to contain costs in the business. Our world-class working capital management combined with declining capital expenditures should also continue to drive cash flow improvements.
As previously announced, Flextronics has entered into a definitive agreement to merge its Network Services division with Telavie, a company wholly-owned by Altor 2003 Fund, a Nordic private equity firm. Flextronics will receive an upfront cash payment, deferred and contingent payments, and we will also retain a 30% ownership stake in the merged company. Flextronics has also entered into a separate agreement to sell its semiconductor division to AMIS Holdings, the parent company of AMI Semiconductor. Both divestitures are progressing according to plan and are expected to close during the September 2005 quarter. Flextronics expects to receive cash payments of approximately $550 million in the quarter for these divestitures.
Management plans to disclose the specific impact on the Companys balance sheet and income statement as a result of these divestitures when they announce financial results for the September 2005 quarter. We expect to use our available cash to fund growth opportunities in the core EMS business, or redeploy it back into our capital structure. The use of proceeds will be finalized once these divestitures are complete, taking into account prevailing market conditions and a comprehensive analysis of our options to maximize earnings and long-term returns for shareholders, said Marks.
This excerpt taken from the FLEX 8-K filed Apr 28, 2005. Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2005 Results
Net sales for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 were $3.6 billion and $15.9 billion, respectively, which represent a quarterly decrease of $155.3 million or 4%, and an annual increase of $1.4 billion or 9%, as compared with the respective prior periods.
Excluding intangibles amortization, restructuring and other charges, net income for the fourth quarter increased 31% to $95.3 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared with $72.8 million, or $0.13 per diluted share in the year ago quarter. GAAP net income for the fourth quarter increased by $58.2 million to $74.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, as compared to $16.0 million, or $0.03 per diluted share in the year ago quarter.
Excluding intangibles amortization, restructuring and other charges, net income for the fiscal year increased 65% to $388.4 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, compared with $234.8 million, or $0.42 per diluted share in the prior fiscal year. GAAP net income for the fiscal year increased by $692.3 million to $339.9 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, as compared to a loss of $352.4 million, or $0.67 per diluted share in the prior fiscal year.
The quarterly results reflect continued industry-leading working capital management, with a cash conversion cycle of 14.6 days. Return on Invested Tangible Capital (ROITC) increased to 25% in the March 2005 quarter from 19% in the prior year quarter. Excluding restructuring charges, gross margin increased for the sixth consecutive quarter to 7.3% and gross profit in fiscal 2005 reached an all-time high of $1.08 billion.
While our quarterly revenue and operating profits were less than expected due to a more than expected decline in handset customer demand, we are extremely pleased that we were able to increase our gross margins for the sixth consecutive quarter. Many of our fourth quarter and fiscal year operating metrics, such as sales, gross profit, GAAP net income, cash conversion cycle, fixed assets to sales, cash and liquidity, and ROITC are at record levels, said Michael E. Marks, Chief Executive Officers of Flextronics. We continue to believe that we can increase gross margins and operating margins, while reducing SG&A as a percentage of sales. The gross margin improvement over the past several quarters demonstrates that our many initiatives to enhance returns and profitability are working. In addition, as we return to a period of reduced capital expenditures, cash flow should continue to improve. Of course this all translates into higher returns on capital as well, added Marks.
The new business opportunities for which we have been selected during the quarter further indicate that our major long-term initiatives, including our industrial parks, vertical integration and design activities, continue to win support from customers. These wins together with our robust pipeline of potential opportunities should continue to diversify our exposure to end-market segments and drive revenue and earnings growth. We continue to believe that the combination of our industry-leading working capital management with our low-cost geographic footprint and these diversified opportunities places us in good competitive shape, Marks concluded.
