PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Flextronics International Ltd.
Singapore

 

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Flextronics International Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 27, 2013, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and of comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

 

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

 

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Flextronics International Ltd. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated May 28, 2013, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2013 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

outstanding and exercisable was 29.2 million and 28.7 million, respectively, at weighted-average exercise prices of $8.98 and $9.01 per share, respectively.

 

During the six-month period ended September 27, 2013, the Company granted 8.2 million unvested share bonus awards at an average grant date price of $8.04 per share, under its 2010 Equity Incentive Plan.  Of this amount, approximately 2.3 million represents the target amount of grants made to certain key employees whereby vesting is contingent on certain market conditions.  The number of shares that ultimately will vest are based on a measurement of the change in the Company’s share price over a certain specified period against the change in both the Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Composite Index and an Extended Electronics Manufacturing Services (“EMS”) Group Index over the same period, and will cliff vest after a period of three years, if such market conditions have been met. The number of shares issued can range from zero to 4.6 million.  The average grant-date fair value of these awards was estimated to be $9.34 per share and was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation.  As of September 27, 2013, approximately 22.9 million unvested share bonus awards were outstanding, of which vesting for a targeted amount of 5.3 million is contingent on meeting certain market conditions.  The number of shares issued can range from zero to 10.1 million based on the achievement levels of the respective market conditions.

 

As of September 27, 2013, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share bonus awards is $107.7 million, net of estimated forfeitures, and will be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 2.60 years. Approximately $19.7 million of the total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, is related to awards whereby vesting is contingent on meeting certain market conditions.

Borrowings under the term loan due August 2018 bear interest, at the Company’s option, either at (i) LIBOR plus the applicable margin for LIBOR loans ranging between 1.00% and 2.00%, based on the Company’s credit ratings or (ii) the base rate (the greatest of the agent’s prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and LIBOR for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%) plus an applicable margin ranging between 0.00% and 1.00%, based on the Company’s credit rating.

 

This term loan agreement is unsecured, and contains customary restrictions on the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to (i) incur certain debt, (ii) make certain investments, (iii) make certain acquisitions of other entities, (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 exceptions and limitations. This term loan agreement 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 interest coverage ratio, as defined therein, during its term. As of September 27, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under this term loan agreement.

Certain of these contracts are designed to economically hedge the Company’s exposure to monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a non-functional currency and are not accounted for as hedges under the accounting standards.  Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized in earnings during the period of change as a component of interest and other, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.  Gains or losses from fair value adjustments for these instruments are designed to offset losses and gains from the Company’s revaluation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a non-functional currency. As of September 27, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the Company also has included net deferred losses and gains, respectively, in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of shareholders’ equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, relating to changes in fair value of its foreign currency contracts that are accounted for as cash flow hedges. These deferred losses and gains were not material, and the deferred losses as of September 27, 2013 are expected to be recognized primarily as a component of cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations primarily over the next twelve-month period. The gains and losses recognized in earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness were not material for all fiscal periods presented and are included as a component of interest and other, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

9.  TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION

 

The Company sells trade receivables under two asset-backed securitization programs and under an accounts receivable factoring program.

 

Asset-Backed Securitization Programs

 

The Company continuously sells designated pools of trade receivables under its Global Asset-Backed Securitization Agreement (the “Global Program”) and its North American Asset-Backed Securitization Agreement (the “North American Program,” collectively, the “ABS Programs”) to affiliated special purpose entities, which in turn sell 100% of the receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions. These programs allow the operating subsidiaries to receive a cash payment and a deferred purchase price receivable for sold receivables.  The Company maintains a continuing involvement in the receivables sold as a result of the deferred purchase price. The investment limits by the financial institutions are $500.0 million for the Global Program and $300.0 million for the North American Program and require a minimum level of deferred purchase price receivable to be retained by the Company in connection with the sales.

 

Servicing fees recognized during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 were not material and are included in interest and other, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.  As the Company estimates the fee it receives in return for its obligation to service these receivables is at fair value, no servicing assets and liabilities are recognized.

 

As of September 27, 2013, approximately $1.2 billion of accounts receivable had been sold to the special purpose entities under the ABS Programs for which the Company had received net cash proceeds of $600.5 million and deferred purchase price receivables of approximately $558.3 million.  As of March 31, 2013, approximately $1.0 billion of accounts receivable had been sold to the special purpose entities for which the Company had received net cash proceeds of $556.9 million and deferred purchase price receivables of approximately $412.4 million.  The deferred purchase price receivables are included in other current assets as of September 27, 2013 and March 31, 2013, and were carried at the expected recovery amount of the related receivables.  The difference between the carrying amount of the receivables sold under these programs and the sum of the cash and fair value of the deferred purchase price receivables received at time of transfer is recognized as a loss on sale of the related receivables and recorded in interest and other, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and were immaterial for all periods presented.

 

As of September 27, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the accounts receivable balances that were sold under the ABS Programs were removed from the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the net cash proceeds received by the Company were included as cash provided by operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

For the six-month periods ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, cash flows from sales of receivables under the ABS Programs consisted of approximately $1.9 billion for each period for transfers of receivables (of which approximately $0.2 billion and $0.3 billion, respectively represented new transfers and the remainder proceeds from collections reinvested in revolving-period transfers for both periods).

 

The following table summarizes the activity in the deferred purchase price receivables account:

Trade Accounts Receivable Sale Programs

 

The Company also sold accounts receivables to certain third-party banking institutions. The outstanding balance of receivables sold and not yet collected was approximately $495.9 million and $163.6 million as of September 27, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively. For the six-month periods ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, total accounts receivable sold to certain third party banking institutions was approximately $1.2 billion and $622.3 million, respectively. The loss on sales of accounts receivables sold was not material for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 and recorded in interest and other, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.  The receivables that were sold were removed from the condensed consolidated balance sheets and were reflected as cash provided by operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The accounting guidance for fair value establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

 

Level 1 - Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

The Company has deferred compensation plans for its officers and certain other employees.  Deferred amounts under the plans are invested in hypothetical investments selected by the participant or the participant’s investment manager.  The Company’s deferred compensation plan assets are for the most part included in other noncurrent assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and primarily include investments in equity securities that are valued using active market prices.

 

Level 2 - Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets) such as cash and cash equivalents and money market funds; or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

 

The Company values foreign exchange forward contracts using level 2 observable inputs which primarily consist of an income approach based on the present value of the forward rate less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount.

 

The Company’s cash equivalents are comprised of bank deposits and money market funds, which are valued using level 2 inputs, such as interest rates and maturity periods. Due to their short-term nature, their carrying amount approximates fair value.

 

The Company’s deferred compensation plan assets also include money market funds, mutual funds, corporate and government bonds and certain convertible securities that are valued using prices obtained from various pricing sources.  These sources price these investments using certain market indices and the performance of these investments in relation to these indices.  As a result, the Company has classified these investments as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Level 3 - Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The Company has accrued for certain contingent consideration in connection with its business acquisitions, which is measured at fair value based on internal models and inputs primarily consisting of revenue and certain operating results targets. Changes to these inputs will result in insignificant increases in the fair value of these contingent considerations, or reducing the fair value to zero. The following table summarizes the activities related to contingent consideration:

The Company values deferred purchase price receivables relating to its asset-backed securitization program based on a discounted cash flow analysis using unobservable inputs (i.e., level 3 inputs), which are primarily risk free interest rates adjusted for the credit quality of the underlying creditor and due to its high credit quality and short term maturity their fair value approximates carrying value.  Significant increases in either of the significant unobservable inputs (credit spread, risk free interest rate) in isolation would result in lower fair value estimates, but is insignificant. The interrelationship between these inputs is also insignificant.  Refer to note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of the change in the deferred purchase price receivable during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012.

Assets held for sale

 

Assets held for sale are recorded at the lesser of the carrying value or fair value, which is based on comparable sales from prevailing market data (level 2 inputs).  During the six-month period ended September 27, 2013, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $3.6 million in fair value adjustments and sold $1.8 million of assets held for sale. Of the $3.6 million impaired, $1.9 million was recognized during the quarter ended June 28, 2013 for fair value adjustments to machinery and equipment previously impaired in its restructuring activities during fiscal year 2013 and classified these assets as held for sale as of September 27, 2013.

The Company’s Asia Term Loans were not traded publicly; however, as the pricing, maturity and other pertinent terms of these loans closely approximated those of the Term Loan Agreements dated October 1, 2007, and October 19, 2011, management estimated the respective trading prices would be approximately the same.

 

11. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

 

The Company initiated certain restructuring activities intended to improve its operational efficiencies by reducing excess workforce and capacity during fiscal year 2013. These restructuring activities extended through the quarter ended June 28, 2013. There were no restructuring charges incurred during the three-month period ended September 27, 2013. Restructuring charges are recorded based upon employee termination dates, site closure and consolidation plans.

 

During the six-month period ended September 27, 2013, the Company recognized restructuring charges of approximately $40.8 million, of which $32.2 million was associated with the terminations of 5,106 identified employees. The identified employee terminations by reportable geographic region amounted to approximately 3,947, 1,105 and 54 for Asia, the Americas and Europe, respectively. The costs associated with these restructuring activities include employee severance, other personnel costs, non-cash impairment charges on equipment no longer in use and are to be disposed of, and other exit related costs due to facility closures or rationalizations.  Of the total restructuring charges, $1.9 million were non-cash charges related to the impairment of long-lived assets, and were classified as a component of cost of sales.

 

The components of the restructuring charges by geographic region during the six-month period ended September 27, 2013 were as follows:

12. BUSINESS AND ASSET ACQUISITIONS

 

On April 16, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of certain manufacturing operations from Google’s Motorola Mobility LLC.  The Company also entered into a manufacturing and services agreement with Motorola Mobility LLC for mobile devices in conjunction with this acquisition.  This acquisition expanded the Company’s relationship with Google’s Motorola Mobility and its capabilities in the mobile devices market. The results of operations were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial results beginning on the date of acquisition.  Revenues were approximately 10% of total revenue for the three-month period ended September 27, 2013 and 8% of total revenue for the six-month period ended September 27, 2013.  Operating results of the acquired operations during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 27, 2013 were not significant to the condensed consolidated financial results of the Company.  On a pro forma basis, the estimated increase to our previously reported revenue amounts to reflect the acquisition of this business as of the first day of the prior comparative period is $919.8 million and $1.9 billion for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 28, 2012, respectively, and operating results for the same periods were immaterial.

 

The cash consideration for this acquisition amounted to $178.9 million. The allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition.  Management is in the process of determining the fair value amounts for certain assets acquired, including the value of identifiable intangible assets and certain liabilities assumed.  The excess of the purchase price over the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been allocated to goodwill.

 

The following represents the Company’s preliminary allocation of the total purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities assumed of Google’s Motorola Mobility LLC as of September 27, 2013.  There were no significant changes in the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the three-month period ended September 27, 2013.

Additionally, during the six-month period ended September 27, 2013, the Company completed another acquisition for $9.5 million that was not significant to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.  This business expanded the Company’s capabilities primarily in manufacturing operations for plastic parts and components.  The Company acquired primarily property and equipment and recorded goodwill amounting to $1.9 million in connection with this acquisition.  The results of operations were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial results beginning on the date of acquisition.  Pro-forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented because the effects of the acquisition were immaterial to the Company’s financial results.

 

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

 

13.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company defends itself vigorously against any such claims. Although the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, management expects that any losses that are probable or reasonably possible of being incurred as a result of these matters, which are in excess of amounts already accrued in its condensed consolidated balance sheets, would not be material to the financial statements as a whole.

 

On October 31, 2013, the Mexican government approved significant tax reform legislation.  The Company is still assessing the impact of this reform, however, the resulting changes could have a material impact to the future income tax expense of the Company.

 

14.  SHARE REPURCHASES

 

During the three-month and six-month periods ended September 27, 2013 the Company repurchased 12.2 million shares at an aggregate purchase price of $103.4 million and 41.2 million shares at an aggregate purchase price of $312.7 million, respectively and retired all these shares.

 

On September 30, 2013, the Singapore Companies Act was amended to increase the share repurchase limit for companies incorporated in Singapore, from 10% to 20% of their shares outstanding as of the most recent shareholder approval date, subject to the requirements under the Singapore Companies Act.

16.  SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR AND NON-GUARANTOR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Flextronics International Ltd. (“Parent”) has two tranches of Notes of $500 million each outstanding, which mature on February 15, 2020 and February 15, 2023, respectively. These notes are senior unsecured obligations, and are guaranteed, fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by certain of the Company’s 100% owned subsidiaries (the “guarantor subsidiaries”). These subsidiary guarantees will terminate upon 1) a sale or other disposition of the guarantor or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the guarantor (other than to Flextronics or a subsidiary); 2) such guarantor ceasing to be a guarantor or a borrower under the Company’s Term Loan Agreement and the Revolving Line of Credit; 3) defeasance or discharge of the Notes, as provided in the Notes indenture; or 4) if at any time the notes are rated investment grade.

 

In lieu of providing separate financial statements for the guarantor subsidiaries, the Company has included the accompanying condensed consolidating financial statements, which are presented using the equity method of accounting. The principal elimination entries relate to investment in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions, including transactions with the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.

OVERVIEW

 

We are a leading global supply chain solutions provider, offering advanced design, manufacturing and logistics and after-sales services to OEMs of a broad range of electronics products for customers in the following markets: High Reliability Solutions (“HRS”), which is comprised of our medical, automotive, and defense and aerospace businesses; High Velocity Solutions (“HVS”), which includes our mobile devices business, including smart phones, and consumer electronics, including game consoles, high-volume computing business, including notebook personal computing (“PC”), tablets and printers; Industrial and Emerging Industries (“IEI”), which is comprised of household appliances, semi-cap equipment, energy and our emerging industries businesses; and Integrated Network Solutions (“INS”), which includes our telecommunications infrastructure, data networking, connected home, and server and storage businesses.

 

Our strategy is to provide customers with a full range of cost competitive, vertically-integrated global supply chain services through which we can design, build, ship and service a complete packaged product for our OEM customers. This enables our OEM customers to leverage our services to meet their product requirements throughout the entire product life cycle.

 

We use a portfolio management approach to manage our extensive service offerings. As our OEM customers change the way they go to market, we reorganize and rebalance our business portfolio in order to align with our customers’ needs and requirements and to optimize our operating results. Over the past few years, we have experienced a shift in revenue towards our more complex and higher margin business groups (HRS, IEI, and INS) from our low margin and high volume HVS business group. With the acquisition of certain manufacturing operations from Google’s Motorola Mobility LLC during the last quarter, we expect an increase in the percentage of our revenues from the HVS business group in fiscal year 2014 and beyond. The objective of our operating model is to allow us to redeploy and reposition our assets and resources to meet specific customer needs across all of the markets we serve, and we have been able to successfully reposition HVS assets and capacity to serve our customers in other markets as required which illustrates the overall flexibility of our model.

 

During fiscal year 2013 and the first half of fiscal 2014, we launched multiple programs broadly across our portfolio of services, and, in some instances, we deployed certain new technologies.  We expect that these new programs will continue to increase in complexity in order to provide competitive advantages to our customers.  We anticipate these programs will continue to ramp to an increase in volume production during fiscal year 2015.  Until we achieve such higher levels of revenue, we expect that our gross margin and operating margin may be negatively impacted as profitability normally lags revenue growth due to incremental start-up costs, operational inefficiencies, under-absorbed overhead costs and lower manufacturing program volumes while in the ramp phase.  We expect that our margins will improve over time as the revenue increases due to increased volumes from these programs.

 

We are one of the world’s largest providers of global supply chain solutions, with revenues of $12.2 billion during the six-month period ended September 27, 2013 and $23.6 billion in fiscal year 2013.  As of September 27, 2013, our total manufacturing capacity was approximately 28.0 million square feet.  We design, build, ship and service electronics products for our customers through a network of facilities in over 30 countries across four continents.  The following tables set forth net sales and net property and equipment, by country, based on the location of our manufacturing sites and the relative percentages:

We believe that the combination of our extensive design and engineering services, significant scale and global presence, end-to-end services, advanced supply chain management, industrial campuses in low-cost geographic areas and operational track record provide us with a competitive advantage in the market for designing, manufacturing and servicing electronics products for leading multinational and regional OEMs. Through these services and facilities, we offer our OEM customers the ability to simplify their global product development, manufacturing process, and after sales services, and enable them to achieve meaningful time to market and cost savings.

 

Our operating results are affected by a number of factors, including the following:

 

·             changes in the macro-economic environment and related changes in consumer demand;

 

·             the mix of the manufacturing services we are providing, the number and size of new manufacturing programs, the degree to which we utilize our manufacturing capacity, seasonal demand, shortages of components and other factors;

 

·             the effects on our business when our customers are not successful in marketing their products, or when their products do not gain widespread commercial acceptance;

 

·             our ability to achieve commercially viable production yields and to manufacture components in commercial quantities to the performance specifications demanded by our OEM customers;

 

·             the effects on our business due to our customers’ products having short product life cycles;

 

·             our customers’ ability to cancel or delay orders or change production quantities;

 

·             our customers’ decision to choose internal manufacturing instead of outsourcing for their product requirements;

 

·             our exposure to financially troubled customers;

 

·             integration of acquired businesses and facilities;

 

·                  increased labor costs due to adverse labor conditions in the markets we operate; and

 

·                  changes in tax legislation.

Our business has been subject to seasonality primarily due to our HVS business group, which includes our mobile and consumer devices businesses which historically exhibit particular strength during our second and third fiscal quarters in connection with the holiday season.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.

 

Refer to the accounting policies under Item 7, “Management’s 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, 2013, where we discuss our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Net sales during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 27, 2013 totaled $6.4 billion and $12.2 billion, respectively.  Sales increased by approximately $235.3 million, or 3.8%, and $50.4 million, or 0.4% from $6.2 billion and $12.2 billion during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 28, 2012, respectively. These increases are due to higher revenue from our HVS and HRS business groups amounting to $255.7 million and $127.9 million, respectively, for the three-month period ended September 27, 2013 and $262.4 million and $264.3 million, respectively, for the six-month period then ended.  The increased revenue from our HVS business group is primarily as a result of our acquisition of certain manufacturing operations from Google’s Motorola Mobility LLC last quarter, which were partially offset by revenue reductions due to our disengagement from a certain smart phone OEM during fiscal 2013 that contributed revenues amounting to $350.0 million and $703.7 million for the three-

Table of Contents

 

month and six month periods ended September 28, 2012.  The increase in revenue from our HRS business group is primarily attributable to our acquisition of Saturn Electronics and Engineering Inc. during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.  The increase in revenue from our HVS and HRS business groups were partially offset by decreases in revenue in our INS and IEI business groups amounting to $95.2 million and $53.1 million, respectively, during the three-month period ended September 27, 2013 and $331.7 million and $144.6 million, respectively, during the six-month period then ended.  These decreases are primarily as a result of broad softness in our telecom and emerging industries businesses.  Net sales remained relatively consistent in Asia, Europe and the Americas for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012.

 

Our ten largest customers during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 27, 2013 accounted for approximately 52% and 50% of net sales, respectively. Google (including Motorola) accounted for more than 10% of net sales during the three-month period ended September 27, 2013. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales during the six-month period ended September 27, 2013.  Our ten largest customers during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 28, 2012 accounted for approximately 49% and 48% of net sales, respectively. No single customer accounted for greater than 10% of our net sales during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 28, 2012.

 

Gross profit

 

Gross profit is affected by a number of factors, including the number and size of new manufacturing programs, product mix, component costs and availability, product life cycles, unit volumes, pricing, competition, new product introductions, capacity utilization and the expansion and consolidation of manufacturing facilities. The flexible design of our manufacturing processes allows us to build a broad range of products in our facilities and better utilize our manufacturing capacity. In the cases of new programs, profitability normally lags revenue growth due to product start-up costs, lower manufacturing program volumes in the start-up phase, operational inefficiencies, and under-absorbed overhead. Gross margin for these programs often improves over time as manufacturing volumes increase, as our utilization rates and overhead absorption improve, and as we increase the level of manufacturing services content. As a result of these various factors, our gross margin varies from period to period.

 

Gross profit during the three-month period ended September 27, 2013 increased $1.7 million to $368.4 million, or 5.7% of net sales from $366.8 million, or 5.9% of net sales, during the three-month period ended September 28, 2012. Gross profit during the six-month period ended September 27, 2013 decreased $44.7 million to $679.5 million, or 5.6% of net sales from $724.1 million, or 6.0% of net sales, during the six-month period ended September 28, 2012. Gross margins deteriorated 20 basis points in the three-month period ended September 27, 2013 compared to that of the three-month period ended September 28, 2012 primarily due to a higher percentage of sales from our HVS business group compared to total revenue, thereby decreasing our gross margin as HVS products carry lower margins than the overall margin on the non-HVS business. Gross margins deteriorated 40 basis points in the six-month period ended September 27, 2013 compared to that of the six-month period ended September 28, 2012 primarily due to the restructuring charges amounting to $35.1 million, or 30 basis points, included in cost of sales in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014.  The remaining decrease in gross margin during the six-month period ended September 27, 2013 is attributable to the increased percentage of sales from our HVS business group compared to total revenue.

 

Restructuring charges

 

In response to a challenging macroeconomic environment, we initiated certain restructuring activities during fiscal 2013 intended to improve our operational efficiencies by reducing excess workforce and capacity.  The restructuring activities were targeted at rationalizing our global manufacturing capacity and infrastructure and will continue to result in a further shift of manufacturing capacity to locations with higher efficiencies.   During the three-month period ended June 28, 2013, we recognized $40.8 million of pre-tax restructuring charges, of which $1.9 million were non-cash charges related to asset impairment charges. There were no restructuring charges incurred during the three-month period ended September 27, 2013.  The restructuring charges by geographic region amounted to approximately $21.3 million in Asia, $13.6 million in the Americas and $5.9 million in Europe.  We expect these restructuring activities will allow for potential savings through reduced employee expenses and lower operating costs and to generate approximately $40.0 million of cost savings per quarter commencing in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.  As of September 27, 2013, accrued costs related to restructuring charges incurred but not paid were approximately $65.4 million, of which $56.2 million was classified as a current obligation. We currently do not expect additional restructuring charges in fiscal year 2014.

 

Refer to note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our restructuring activities.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) amounted to $218.5 million, or 3.4% of net sales, during the three-month period ended September 27, 2013, increasing $26.3 million from $192.2 million, or 3.1% of net sales, during the three-month period ended September 28, 2012. SG&A was $436.5 million, or 3.6% of net sales, during the six-month period ended September 27, 2013,

 

27



Table of Contents

 

increasing $54.0 million from $382.5 million, or 3.1% of net sales, during the six-month period ended September 28, 2012. The increase in SG&A in dollars and as a percentage of net sales for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 27, 2013 was primarily due to increasing costs relating to acquisitions, innovation for our supply chain solution technologies, enhancement of our selling and business development activities and incremental corporate infrastructure to support the increasing complexities of our business.

 

Interest and other, net

 

Interest and other, net was $13.6 million of expense during the three-month period ended September 27, 2013 compared to $10.5 million of income during the three-month period ended September 28, 2012. The increase in net expense of $24.1 million was primarily as a result of the gain of $23.0 million recognized during the three-month period ended September 28, 2012 in connection with the fair value adjustment of warrants to purchase common shares of a supplier.

 

Interest and other, net was $33.3 million of expense during the six-month period ended September 27, 2013 compared to $0.3 million of expense during the six-month period ended September 28, 2012.  The increase of $33.0 million was largely due to the gain of $23.0 million recognized during the six-month period ended September 28, 2012 relating to the fair value adjustment of warrants described above and the realized loss on the sale of those underlying shares amounting to $7.1 million that was recognized during the six-month period ended September 27, 2013.

 

Income taxes

 

Certain of our 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 11, “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, 2013 for further discussion.

 

Our policy is to provide a reserve against deferred tax assets in our estimation that are not more likely than not to be realized.

 

The consolidated effective tax rate was 5.7% and 8.9% for six-month periods ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, respectively, and varies from the Singapore statutory rate of 17.0% as a result of 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 our current analysis of the realizability of these deferred tax assets, changes in liabilities for uncertain tax positions, as well as certain tax holidays and incentives granted to our subsidiaries primarily in China, Malaysia, Israel, and Singapore. We generate most of our revenues and profits from operations outside of Singapore. We currently do not anticipate a significant impact to our fiscal year 2014 effective rate as a result of changes to the mix in revenues and operating profits between taxing jurisdictions.  The effective tax rate for the six-month period ended September 27, 2013 is lower than the effective rate for the six-month period ended September 28, 2012 primarily as a result of a net decrease in liabilities for uncertain tax positions of $9.8 million (primarily driven by tax audit settlements), which are recorded on a discrete basis in the quarter in which circumstances change and indicate an adjustment to income tax assets or liabilities is required.

 

On October 31, 2013, the Mexican government approved significant tax reform legislation.  The Company is still assessing the impact of this reform, however, the resulting changes could have a material impact to the future income tax expense of the Company.  This tax reform is expected to take effect starting January 1, 2014.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

As of September 27, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.1 billion and bank and other borrowings of approximately $2.1 billion. We also have a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility that expires in October 2016 under which there were no borrowings outstanding as of the end of the quarter.  As of September 27, 2013, we were in compliance with the covenants under each of our existing credit facilities and indenture.

 

Cash provided by operating activities was $353.8 million during the six-month period ended September 27, 2013. This resulted primarily from $177.5 million of net income for the period, adjusted to exclude approximately $227.4 million of net non-cash expenses for depreciation, amortization and other impairment charges, and $51.1 million from changes in our operating assets and liabilities.

 

For the quarterly periods indicated, certain key liquidity metrics were as follows:

Days in trade accounts receivable was calculated as average accounts receivable for the current and prior quarters, excluding the reduction in accounts receivable resulting from non-cash accounts receivable sales, divided by annualized sales for the current quarter by day.  During the three-month period ended September 27, 2013, days in trade accounts receivable decreased by 2 days to 42 days compared to the three-month period ended September 28, 2012 largely due to the increase in sales of our accounts receivable balances which primarily consisted of amounts due from one of our significant customers in the HVS business group.  Non-cash accounts receivable sales, or deferred purchase price receivables, which are added back to accounts receivable in the calculation of days in trade receivables were $558.3 million, $420.9 million, $412.4 million, $462.0 million, and $458.1 million for the quarters ended September 27, 2013, June 28, 2013, March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012, and September 28, 2012, respectively. Deferred purchase price receivables are recorded in other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For further information regarding deferred purchase price receivables see note 9 of our notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Days in inventory was calculated as the average inventory for the current and prior quarters divided by annualized cost of sales for the respective quarter by day.  Days in inventory during the three-month period ended September 27, 2013 increased by 4 days to 53 days, compared to the three-month period ended September 28, 2012.  The increase was primarily as a result of the prepositioning of raw material inventory during the current quarter to support the production ramp up of several programs launched over the course of the September quarter and extending into our December quarter.

 

Days in accounts payable was calculated as the average accounts payable for the current and prior quarters divided by annualized cost of sales for the respective quarter by day. During the three-month period ended September 27, 2013, days in accounts payable increased by 5 days to 71 days compared to the three-month period ended September 28, 2012 primarily due to timing of payments and the increase in inventory purchases towards the end of the current quarter as explained above.

 

Our cash conversion cycle was calculated as the sum of inventory turns in days and days sales of receivables outstanding less days payable outstanding in accounts payable.  During the three-month period ended September 27, 2013, our cash conversion cycle decreased by 3 days to 24 days compared to the three-month period ended September 28, 2012, due to the factors for each of the components in the calculation discussed above.

 

Cash used by investing activities amounted to $490.1 million during the six-month period ended September 27, 2013.  This resulted primarily from the payment of $187.5 million towards the acquisition of two businesses completed during the six-month period ended September 27, 2013 and $311.0 million in net capital expenditures for property and equipment.

 

We believe free cash flow is an important liquidity metric because it measures, during a given period, the amount of cash generated that is available to repay debt obligations, make investments, fund acquisitions, repurchase company shares and for certain other activities. Our free cash flow, which is calculated as cash provided by operations less net purchases of property and equipment, was an inflow of $42.8 million for the six-month period ended September 27, 2013 compared to an inflow of $282.6 million for the six-month period ended September 28, 2012. Free cash flow is not a measure of liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner. Free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities.  Free cash flows reconcile to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure of cash flows from operations as follows:

Cash used in financing activities was $306.4 million during the six-month period ended September 27, 2013, which was primarily the result of cash paid of $324.6 million related to the repurchase of our ordinary shares and net repayments of debt of $16.2 million.  During the three-month period ended September 27, 2013, we entered in to a new Term Loan agreement under which we borrowed $600.0 million and used the entire proceeds to repay our Asia term loans, our term loan due in October 2014 and part of the term loan due in October 2016.

 

Our cash balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world. 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. Local government regulations may restrict our ability to move cash balances to meet cash needs under certain circumstances; however, any current restrictions are not material. We do not currently expect such regulations and restrictions to impact our ability to pay vendors and conduct operations throughout the global organization. We believe that our existing cash balances, together with anticipated cash flows from operations and borrowings available under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund our operations through at least the next twelve months. As of September 27, 2013 and March 31, 2013, more than half of our cash and cash equivalents were held by foreign subsidiaries outside of Singapore.  Although substantially all of the amounts held outside of Singapore could be repatriated, under current laws, a significant amount could be subject to income tax withholdings. We provide for tax liabilities on these amounts for financial statement purposes, except for certain of our foreign earnings that are considered indefinitely reinvested outside of Singapore (approximately $457.7 million as of March 31, 2013). Repatriation could result in an additional income tax payment, however, our intent is to permanently reinvest these funds outside of Singapore and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund our operations. Where local restrictions prevent an efficient intercompany transfer of funds, our intent is that cash balances would remain outside of Singapore and we would meet our liquidity needs through ongoing cash flows, external borrowings, or both.

 

Future liquidity needs will 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, and the levels of shipments and changes in the volumes of customer orders.

 

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 sell a designated pool of trade receivables under asset-backed securitization programs and sell certain trade receivables, which are in addition to the trade receivables sold in connection with these securitization agreements.

 

We anticipate that we will enter into debt and equity financings, sales of accounts receivable and lease transactions to fund acquisitions and growth.

 

We continue to assess our capital structure and evaluate the merits of redeploying available cash to reduce existing debt or repurchase ordinary shares. During the six-month period ended September 27, 2013 we improved our cash flow from operations by $375.9 million through increasing the amount of trade receivables sold for cash.

 

The Company’s Board of Directors, on July 24, 2013, authorized the repurchase of up to 10% of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares which was subsequently approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on July 29, 2013. Subsequently, the Singapore Companies Act was amended on September 30, 2013, to authorize companies incorporated in Singapore to repurchase up to 20% of their shares outstanding as of the most recent shareholder approval date, subject to the requirements of the Singapore Companies Act.  During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company repurchased 12.2 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $103.4 million, and retired all of these shares.

 

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS

 

Information regarding our long-term debt payments, operating lease payments, capital lease payments and other commitments is provided in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013.  There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments since March 31, 2013 except for the following changes to our debt obligations.

 

On August 30, 2013, we entered into a $600 million new term loan agreement maturing in August 2018. Refer to note 5 of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details on this term loan.

 

Future payments due under our long-term debt and interest on long-term debt obligations changed from those described in the Contractual Obligations and Commitments table contained within our Annual Report on our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 and accordingly these two items have been updated as follows:

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

We sell designated pools of trade receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions under our ABS programs, and in addition to cash, we receive a deferred purchase price receivable for each pool of the receivables sold. Each of these deferred purchase price receivables serves as additional credit support to the financial institutions and is recorded at its estimated fair value. As of September 27, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the fair value of our deferred purchase price receivable was approximately $558.3 million and $412.4 million, respectively. As of September 27, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the outstanding balance on receivables sold for cash was $1.1 billion and $720.5 million, respectively, under all our accounts receivable sales programs, which are not included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. For further information see note 9 of our notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

There were no material changes in our exposure to market risks for changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates for the six-month period ended September 27, 2013 as compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our 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 27, 2013, 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 27, 2013, 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 Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our 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 our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our second quarter of fiscal year 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company defends itself vigorously against any such claims. Although the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, management expects that any losses that are probable or reasonably possible of being incurred as a result of these matters, which are in excess of amounts already accrued in its condensed consolidated balance sheets would not be material to the financial statements as a whole.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.  The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our 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.
