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 December 31, 2013, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and of comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization of the Company

Flextronics International Ltd. (“Flextronics” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the Republic of Singapore in May 1990. The Company’s operations have expanded over the years through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions. The Company is a leading global supply chain solutions provider of advanced design, manufacturing and services to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) of a broad range of electronic products serving 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 and wearable electronics, and our high-volume computing business, including various supply chain solutions for notebook personal computing (“PC”), tablets, and printers; Industrial and Emerging Industries (“IEI”), which is comprised of household appliances, semi-cap equipment, kiosks, 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. The Company’s strategy is to provide customers with a full range of cost competitive, global supply chain solutions through which the Company can design, build, ship and service a complete packaged product for its OEM customers. OEM customers leverage the Company’s supply chain solutions to meet their product requirements throughout the entire product life cycle.

The Company’s service offerings include a comprehensive range of value-added design and engineering services that are tailored to the various markets and needs of its customers. Other focused service offerings relate to manufacturing (including enclosures, metals, plastic injection molding, precision plastics, machining, and mechanicals), system integration and assembly and test services, materials procurement, inventory management, logistics and after-sales services (including product repair, warranty services, re-manufacturing and maintenance), supply chain management software solutions and component product offerings like rigid and flexible printed circuit boards and power adapters and chargers.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company recorded certain purchase accounting adjustments in connection with an acquisition of a business that was consummated in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. These purchase accounting adjustments resulted in the release of $22.3 million of valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. In accordance with the accounting guidance applicable to business combinations, the Company re-casted the operating results for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 to reflect the release of the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

The first quarter for fiscal year 2014 and fiscal year 2013 ended on June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, respectively. The second quarter for fiscal year 2014 and fiscal year 2013 ended on September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, respectively. The Company’s third fiscal quarter ends on December 31, and the fourth fiscal quarter, and year, ends on March 31 of each year.

Balance, end of the period	$	292,852

(1) The goodwill generated from the Company’s business combinations completed during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013 is primarily related to value placed on the employee workforce, service offerings and capabilities and expected synergies. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. See note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

(2) Includes adjustments based on management’s estimates resulting from review and finalization of the valuation of assets and liabilities acquired through certain business combinations completed in a period subsequent to the respective acquisition. These adjustments and acquisitions were not individually, nor in the aggregate, significant to the Company.

The components of acquired intangible assets are as follows:

	As of December 31, 2013							As of March 31, 2013
	Gross					Net		Gross					Net
	Carrying		Accumulated			Carrying		Carrying		Accumulated			Carrying

The gross carrying amounts of intangible assets are removed when the recorded amounts have been fully amortized. During the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, the value of customer-related intangible assets and licenses and other intangible assets increased by $12.9 million and $7.6 million, respectively, as a result of our acquisition of Riwisa AG. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and is subject to change as the Company continues to evaluate the value of assets and liabilities relating to this acquisition. Refer to note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the Riwisa AG acquisition. During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013, certain customer relationship intangibles were fully amortized, offset by the increase in intangible assets in connection with the aforementioned acquisition. The estimated future annual amortization expense for intangible assets is as follows:

2015	25,968
2016	20,969
2017	13,661
2018	8,605
Thereafter	12,825
Total amortization expense	$	88,979

(1) Represents estimated amortization for the remaining three-month period ending March 31, 2014.

Other Current Liabilities

Other current liabilities include customer working capital advances of $934.8 million and $214.1 million as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively. These amounts are not interest bearing, do not have fixed repayment dates and are generally reduced as the underlying working capital is consumed in production.

3. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The following table summarizes the Company’s share-based compensation expense:

	Three-Month Periods Ended				Nine-Month Periods Ended
	December 31, 2013		December 31, 2012		December 31, 2013		December 31, 2012
	(In thousands)
Cost of sales	$	1,800	$	1,530	$	5,018	$	4,045
Selling, general and administrative expenses	11,311		6,986		25,399		22,663
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	13,111	$	8,516	$	30,417	$	26,708

Total unrecognized compensation expense related to share options is $0.9 million, net of estimated forfeitures, and will be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.2 years. As of December 31, 2013, the number of options outstanding and exercisable was 27.0 million and 26.7 million, respectively, at weighted-average exercise prices of $8.92 and $8.94 per share, respectively.

During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013, the Company granted 8.7 million unvested share bonus awards at an average grant date price of $8.05 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 range from zero and up to a maximum of 200% 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 December 31, 2013, approximately 22.7 million unvested share bonus awards were outstanding, of which vesting for a targeted amount of 5.2 million is contingent on meeting certain market conditions. The number of shares issued can range from zero to 9.9 million based on the achievement levels of the respective market conditions.

As of December 31, 2013, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share bonus awards is $96.9 million, net of estimated forfeitures, and will be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 2.45 years. Approximately $17.3 million of the total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, is related to awards whereby vesting is contingent on meeting certain market conditions.

(2) Options to purchase 16.5 million and 21.0 million ordinary shares during the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and 0.1 million and 0.5 million share bonus awards during the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their anti-dilutive impact on the weighted average ordinary share equivalents.

5. NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

On December 17, 2013, a previously wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company issued a non-controlling equity interest to a third party investor in exchange for $33.8 million in cash for an ownership interest less than 20% of the outstanding shares in the subsidiary. The Company continues to own a majority of the subsidiary’s outstanding equity and also controls the subsidiary’s board of directors. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of this subsidiary as of December 31, 2013 and for the three-month and nine-month periods then ended.

The Company has recognized the carrying value of the non-controlling interest as a component of total shareholders’ equity. The operating results of the subsidiary attributable to the non-controlling interest are immaterial for all of the periods presented and are included in interest and other, net.

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

Table of Contents

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 December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the Company also has included net deferred gains 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 gains were not material as of December 31, 2013, and 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.

The following table presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments located on the condensed consolidated balance sheets utilized for foreign currency risk management purposes:

The Company has financial instruments subject to master netting arrangements, which provides for the net settlement of all contracts with a single counterparty. The Company does not offset fair value amounts for assets and liabilities recognized for derivative instruments under these arrangements, and as such, the asset and liability balances presented in the table above reflect the gross amounts of derivatives in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The impact of netting derivative assets and liabilities is not material to the Company’s financial position for any of the periods presented.

10. 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 nine-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 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 December 31, 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 $633.9 million and deferred purchase price receivables of approximately $528.8 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 December 31, 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 December 31, 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 nine-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, cash flows from sales of receivables under the ABS Programs consisted of approximately $3.0 billion and $2.8 billion for transfers of receivables, respectively (of which approximately $0.3 billion and $0.5 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:

	Three-Month Periods Ended						Nine-Month Periods Ended
	December 31, 2013			December 31, 2012			December 31, 2013			December 31, 2012

Ending balance	$	528,830		$	462,014		$	528,830		$	462,014

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 $517.1 million and $163.6 million as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively. For the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, total accounts receivable sold to certain third party banking institutions was approximately $2.7 billion and $820.7 million, respectively. The loss on sales of accounts receivables sold was not material for the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and is 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.

11. 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:

	Three-Month Periods Ended						Nine-Month Periods Ended
	December 31, 2013			December 31, 2012			December 31, 2013			December 31, 2012
	(In thousands)
Beginning balance	$	16,000		$	10,431		$	25,000		$	1,151
Additions to accrual	—			15,000			—			25,000
Payments	—			(230		)	—			(625		)
Fair value adjustments	(3,700		)	—			(12,700		)	(325		)
Ending balance	$	12,300		$	25,201		$	12,300		$	25,201

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. Any change in fair value and the interrelationship between these inputs is insignificant. Refer to

note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of the change in the deferred purchase price receivable during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

There were no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

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 nine-month period ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized an

Table of Contents

impairment charge of $4.3 million in fair value adjustments and sold $9.1 million of assets held for sale. The assets held for sale as of December 31, 2013 primarily represent manufacturing facilities that have been closed as part of the Company’s facility consolidations and the related manufacturing assets.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment includes the carrying value of certain assets that were impaired during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 as a result of the Company’s restructuring activities as further discussed in note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

There were no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy for these long-lived assets during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

The term loans and Notes are valued based on broker trading prices in active markets.

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.

12. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

The Company initiated certain restructuring activities intended to improve its operational efficiencies by reducing excess workforce and capacity during fiscal year 2013.

13. 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 12.6% of total revenue for the three-month period ended December 31, 2013 and 10.1% of total revenue for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013. Income before tax of the acquired operations during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2013 was 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 $838.4 million and $2.7 billion for the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 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 December 31, 2013. There were no changes in the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013.

On November 4, 2013 the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Riwisa AG, a company registered in Switzerland for total cash consideration of $44.0 million, net of cash acquired amounting to $9.4 million. This acquisition expanded the Company’s capabilities in the medical devices market, particularly precision plastics. The Company primarily acquired inventory, property and equipment and assumed certain liabilities relating to payables and debt. 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 not material to the Company’s financial results.

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 Company recorded $20.5 million as intangible assets and $18.7 million as goodwill based on a preliminary assessment of fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Further, during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013, the Company completed two other acquisitions for total cash consideration of $15.1 million. Neither of these acquisitions was significant to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. These businesses expanded the Company’s capabilities primarily in manufacturing operations for plastic parts, components and molds. The Company acquired primarily property and equipment and inventory and recorded goodwill amounting to $4.9 million in connection with these acquisitions. The results of operations were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial results beginning on the date of these acquisitions. Pro-forma results of operations for these acquisitions have not been presented because the effects of the acquisitions were immaterial to the Company’s financial results. Additionally, transaction costs related to all acquisitions completed during the periods presented were immaterial to the Company’s financial results.

The Company continues to evaluate certain assets and liabilities related to business combinations completed during 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, as a result of such additional information, may result in a corresponding adjustment to goodwill.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation and other legal matters

On December 11, 2013, Xilinx, Inc. (plaintiff) filed a lawsuit in Santa Clara County, California, Superior Court against Flextronics International, Ltd.; Flextronics International USA, Inc.; and Flextronics Corporation (Case No. 113CV257431). The complaint asserts various claims, including fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract, and unfair competition, based on specific alleged incidents concerning our purchases and sales of Xilinx products. The plaintiff seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory, statutory, punitive, and other forms of damages, injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs. The plaintiff also seeks a jury trial. The Company is investigating the allegations and is unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses in this matter at this time.

Table of Contents

In addition, from time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business including tax assessments. 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.

15. SHARE REPURCHASES

During the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2013 the Company repurchased 5.9 million shares at an aggregate purchase price of $44.4 million and 47.1 million shares at an aggregate purchase price of $357.1 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.

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, consumer electronics, including game consoles and wearable electronics, and our high-volume computing business, including various supply chain solutions for notebook personal computing (“PC”), tablets and printers; Industrial and Emerging Industries (“IEI”), which is comprised of household appliances, semi-cap equipment, kiosks, 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 solutions 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 supply chain solutions 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. With the acquisition of certain manufacturing operations from Google’s Motorola Mobility LLC during the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we have experienced an increase in the percentage of our revenues from the HVS business group, and expect the amount of revenue from our HVS business group, relative to total revenue, to stabilize around concentrations in the range of 30% to 40% going forward. 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 our assets and capacity between the various business groups to serve our customers as required which illustrates the overall flexibility of our model.

During fiscal years 2013 and 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 ramping with an increase in volume production during fiscal year 2015 and beyond. 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 for these programs will improve over time as the revenue increases due to increased volumes.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, we will reduce our workforce and take other cost reduction activities. We expect to recognize approximately $30 million to $35 million in pre-tax cash charges comprised primarily of employee severance and benefit costs. We expect these cost reduction activities will yield potential annualized savings of approximately $60 million principally to selling, general and administrative expenses through reduced employee expenses and lower operating costs.

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, and industrial campuses in low-cost geographic areas provide us with a competitive advantage and strong differentiation in the market for designing, manufacturing and servicing electronics products for leading multinational and regional OEMs. Specifically, we have launched multiple product innovation centers (PICs) focused exclusively on offering 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;

Table of Contents

· 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 nine-month periods ended December 31, 2013 totaled $7.2 billion and $19.4 billion, respectively. Sales increased by approximately $1.1 billion, or 17.3% and 6.1%, from $6.1 billion and $18.3 billion during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively. The increase during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013 is primarily due to higher revenue from our HVS business group amounting to $1.0 billion. The increase during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013 is due to higher revenue from our HVS and HRS business groups amounting to $1.3 billion and $0.4 billion, respectively, partially offset by lower revenue from our INS business group amounting to $0.5 billion. 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 (Motorola) during the first quarter of fiscal 2014, 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 $114.5 million and $818.3 million for the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively. 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 decrease in revenue from our INS business group during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013 is primarily attributable to broad softness in our telecom and connected home businesses versus the prior year. For the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2013, net sales increased $0.8 billion and $1.1 billion in Asia, $0.4 billion and $0.6 billion in the Americas, offset by decreases of $0.1 billion and $0.5 billion in Europe, respectively.

Our ten largest customers during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2013 accounted for approximately 54.2% and 51.6% of net sales, respectively. Google (including Motorola) accounted for more than 10% of net sales during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2013. Our ten largest customers during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 accounted for approximately 48.6% and 48.1% of net sales, respectively. No single customer accounted for greater than 10% of our net sales during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 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. When new programs are launched, 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 December 31, 2013 increased $152.2 million to $398.6 million, or 5.5% of net sales from $246.5 million, or 4.0% of net sales, during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012. Gross profit during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013 increased $107.5 million to $1.1 billion, or 5.5% of net sales from $970.6 million, or 5.3% of net sales, during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012. Gross margins improved 150 basis points in the three-month period ended December 31, 2013 compared to that of the three-month period ended December 31, 2012 primarily due to the restructuring charges amounting to $98.3 million, or 1.6% of net sales, included in cost of sales in the third quarter of fiscal year 2013 and the realization of the associated reduced operating costs from the restructuring activities during the current period. Gross margins improved 20 basis points in the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013 compared to that of the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012 primarily due to the restructuring charges amounting to $35.1 million, or 0.2% of net sales, included in cost of sales in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 compared to $98.3 million or 0.5% of net sales included in the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012, and the realization of the associated reduced operating costs from the restructuring activities during the current period.

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 since the first quarter of fiscal 2014. 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. As of December 31, 2013, accrued costs related to restructuring charges incurred but not paid were approximately $52.6 million, of which $45.8 million was classified as a current obligation.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) amounted to $224.6 million, or 3.1% of net sales, during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, increasing $17.4 million from $207.2 million, or 3.4% of net sales, during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012. SG&A was $661.1 million, or 3.4% of net sales, during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013, increasing $71.3 million from $589.8 million, or 3.2% of net sales, during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012. Our SG&A expenses increased in the current year primarily as a result of acquisitions, investments in our supply chain solutions, enhancement of our selling and business development activities and incremental corporate infrastructure to support the increasing complexities of our business. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013 compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2012 primarily due to the combination of higher quarterly revenues and the fixed nature of some of our SG&A expenses that are not directly driven by revenue generating activities.

Interest and other, net

Interest and other, net was $14.7 million of expense during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013 compared to $17.1 million of income during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012. The increase in net expense of $31.8 million was primarily as a result of a gain of $41.8 million recognized during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012 in connection with the fair value adjustment of warrants to purchase common shares of a supplier, which was partially offset by impairment charges on investments and a loss from the sale of an investment recognized during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012.

Interest and other, net was $48.0 million of expense during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013 compared to $16.8 million of income during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012. The increase of $64.8 million was due to the gain recognized during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012 relating to the fair value adjustment of warrants described above.

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 valuation allowance against deferred tax assets that in our estimation are not more likely than not to be realized. During the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, we released $14.1 million of such valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets in our Brazilian operations as this amount was deemed to be more likely than not to be realized.

The consolidated effective tax rate remained relatively consistent at 5.6% and 5.4% for nine-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 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 Mexican government enacted significant tax reform legislation during the third quarter of fiscal 2014, which resulted in a net $4.3 million discrete tax expense for the period. The Company does not anticipate this tax reform to have a material impact to the ongoing effective tax rate.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of December 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.6 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 December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with the covenants under each of our existing credit facilities and indenture.

Cash provided by operating activities was $1.1 billion during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013. This resulted primarily from $322.6 million of net income for the period, adjusted to exclude approximately $345.0 million of net non-cash

Table of Contents

expenses for depreciation, amortization and other impairment charges, and $450.6 million from changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Net working capital (“NWC”), defined as net accounts receivable plus inventory less accounts payable increased by $260.9 million primarily to support the increase in our customers’ forecasted business levels. The cash outflows to support NWC were offset by approximately $700.0 million of cash received from certain customers as advances during the period. In certain instances the level of inventory reduction or consumption was lower than expected causing an increase to inventory. In response, we worked with these customers to fund the elevated inventory balances we held on their behalf. We have recorded these advances as other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 and expect these amounts to decrease as we produce or sell the associated inventory in the future. This will have a neutral impact on cash flows.

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

	Three-Month Periods Ended
	December 31, 2013	September 27, 2013	June 28, 2013	March 31, 2013	December 31, 2012
Days in trade accounts receivable	38 days	42 days	43 days	46 days	42 days
Days in inventory	53 days	53 days	49 days	50 days	47 days
Days in accounts payable	68 days	71 days	67 days	70 days	65 days
Cash conversion cycle	23 days	24 days	25 days	26 days	24 days

Days in trade accounts receivable was calculated as average accounts receivable for the current and prior quarters, adding back 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 December 31, 2013, days in trade accounts receivable decreased by 4 days to 38 days compared to the three-month periods ended September 27, 2013 and December 31, 2012 largely due to the increase in sales of our accounts receivable balances combined with increase in sales in our HVS business group that generally carry shorter payment terms than the Company average. 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 $528.8 million, $558.3 million, $420.9 million, $412.4 million, and $462.0 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2013, September 27, 2013, June 28, 2013, March 31, 2013, and December 31, 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 10 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 remained consistent at 53 days during the three-month period December 31, 2013 and September 27, 2013, and increased by 6 days to 53 days, compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily as a result of the positioning of raw material inventory to support the production ramp of several programs launched in the current fiscal year and also due to increased levels of inventory that we held as of December 31, 2013 on behalf of certain customers, as discussed in the operating cash flow section above.

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 December 31, 2013, days in accounts payable decreased by 3 days to 68 days compared to the three-month period ended September 27, 2013 primarily due to timing of payments and the increase in cost of sales associated with our current quarter. During the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, days in accounts payable increased by 3 days to 68 days compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2012 primarily due to timing of payments and the increase in inventory purchases as explained above.

Our cash conversion cycle was calculated as the sum of days of inventory and days of accounts receivables outstanding less days payable outstanding in accounts payable. During the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, our cash conversion cycle decreased by 1 day to 23 days compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, due to the factors for each of the components in the calculation discussed above.

Cash used by investing activities amounted to $706.7 million during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013. This resulted primarily from $461.2 million in net capital expenditures for property and equipment to support certain programs and the payment of $238.0 million towards the acquisition of four businesses completed during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013.

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

Table of Contents

$657.2 million for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013 compared to $678.0 million for the nine-month period ended December 31, 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:

	Nine-Month Periods Ended
	December 31, 2013			December 31, 2012
	(In thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	1,118,307		$	1,006,057
Purchases of property and equipment	(526,026		)	(377,901		)
Proceeds from the disposition of property and equipment	64,873			49,819
Free cash flow	$	657,154		$	677,975

Cash used in financing activities was $355.4 million during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013, which was primarily the result of cash paid of $362.7 million related to the repurchase of our ordinary shares and net repayments of debt of $60.1 million, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of Company shares for options exercises amounting to $21.1 million and cash inflows from other financing activities amounting to $46.3 million. Included in other financing activities is an amount of $33.8 million received from a third party for the non-controlling interest in one of our subsidiaries as further discussed in note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. During the nine-month period ended December 31, 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 December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, a significant amount of our cash and cash equivalents was 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.

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

Table of Contents

requirements of the Singapore Companies Act. During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013, the Company paid $362.7 million to repurchase shares at an average price of $7.70 per share.

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 6 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:

			Less Than						Greater Than
	Total		1 Year		1 - 3 Years		4 - 5 Years		5 Years
	(In thousands)
Long-Term Debt Obligations:
Long-term debt	$	2,067,627	$	90,063	$	96,535	$	328,692	$	1,552,337
Interest on long-term debt obligations	482,257		65,285		136,065		114,788		166,119
Total long-term debt obligations	$	2,549,884	$	155,348	$	232,600	$	443,480	$	1,718,456

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 December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the fair value of our deferred purchase price receivable was approximately $528.8 million and $412.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the outstanding balance on receivables sold for cash was $1.2 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 10 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 nine-month period ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
