1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the information set forth therein have been included. Jabil Inc. (the “Company”) has made certain reclassification adjustments to conform prior periods’ Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to the current presentation. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Jabil Inc. (the “Company”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021. Results for the six months ended February 28, 2022 are not necessarily an indication of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending August 31, 2022.

2. Trade Accounts Receivable Sale Programs

The Company regularly sells designated pools of high credit quality trade accounts receivable, at a discount, under uncommitted trade accounts receivable sale programs to unaffiliated financial institutions without recourse. As these accounts receivable are sold without recourse, the Company does not retain the associated risks following the transfer of such accounts receivable to the respective financial institutions.

As of February 28, 2022, the Company may elect to sell receivables and the unaffiliated financial institution may elect to purchase specific accounts receivable at any one time up to a: (i) maximum aggregate amount available of $2.0 billion under nine trade accounts receivable sale programs, (ii) maximum amount available of 400 million CNY under one trade accounts receivable sale program and (iii) maximum amount available of 100 million CHF under one trade accounts receivable sale program. The trade accounts receivable sale programs expire on various dates through 2025.

The Company continues servicing the receivables sold and in exchange receives a servicing fee under each of the trade accounts receivable sale programs. Servicing fees related to the trade accounts receivable sale programs recognized during the three months and six months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021 were not material. The Company does not record a servicing asset or liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as the Company estimates that the fee it receives to service these receivables approximates the fair market compensation to provide the servicing activities.

In connection with the trade accounts receivable sale programs, the Company recognized the following (in millions):

Borrowings under the Company’s debt agreements are subject to various covenants that limit the Company’s ability to: incur additional indebtedness, sell assets, effect mergers and certain transactions, and effect certain transactions with subsidiaries and affiliates. In addition, the revolving credit facilities and the 4.900% Senior Notes contain debt leverage and interest coverage covenants. The Company is also subject to certain covenants requiring the Company to offer to repurchase the 4.700%, 4.900%, 3.950%, 3.600%, 3.000% or 1.700% Senior Notes upon a change of control.

In addition, a foreign entity participating in the global asset-backed securitization program sells certain receivables at a discount to conduits administered by an unaffiliated financial institution on a daily basis. The Company terminated the foreign asset-backed securitization program on June 28, 2021.

The Company continues servicing the receivables sold and in exchange receives a servicing fee under the global asset-backed securitization program. Servicing fees related to the asset-backed securitization programs recognized during the three months and six months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021 were not material. The Company does not record a servicing asset or liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as the Company estimates that the fee it receives to service these receivables approximates the fair market compensation to provide the servicing activities.

The special purpose entity in the global asset-backed securitization program is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and is included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain unsold receivables covering up to the maximum amount of net cash proceeds available under the domestic, or U.S., portion of the global asset-backed securitization program are pledged as collateral to the unaffiliated financial institution as of February 28, 2022.

The global asset-backed securitization program expires on November 25, 2024 and the maximum amount of net cash proceeds available at any one time is $600 million. As of February 28, 2022, the Company had no available liquidity under its global asset-backed securitization program.

In connection with the asset-backed securitization programs, the Company recognized the following (in millions):

(1)Service cost is recognized in cost of revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

(2)Components are recognized in other expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

(3)Actuarial gains and losses are amortized using a corridor approach. The gain/loss corridor is equal to 10 percent of the greater of the projected benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. Gains and losses in excess of the corridor are generally amortized over the average future working lifetime of the plan participants.

9. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company is directly and indirectly affected by changes in certain market conditions. These changes in market conditions may adversely impact the Company’s financial performance and are referred to as market risks. The Company, where deemed appropriate, uses derivatives as risk management tools to mitigate the potential impact of certain market risks. The primary market risks managed by the Company through the use of derivative instruments are foreign currency risk and interest rate risk.

Foreign Currency Risk Management

Forward contracts are put in place to manage the foreign currency risk associated with the anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses. A hedging relationship existed with an aggregate notional amount outstanding of $1.2 billion and $1.5 billion as of February 28, 2022 and August 31, 2021, respectively. The related forward foreign exchange contracts have been designated as hedging instruments and are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The forward foreign exchange contract transactions will effectively lock in the value of anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses against foreign currency fluctuations. The anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses being hedged are expected to occur between March 1, 2022 and February 28, 2023.

In addition to derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments and qualify for hedge accounting, the Company also enters into forward contracts to economically hedge transactional exposure associated with commitments arising from trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, fixed purchase obligations and intercompany transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective operating entity.

Restricted Stock Units

Certain key employees have been granted time-based, performance-based and market-based restricted stock unit awards (“restricted stock units”). The time-based restricted stock units generally vest on a graded vesting schedule over three years. The performance-based restricted stock units generally vest on a cliff vesting schedule over three years and up to a maximum of 150%, depending on the specified performance condition and the level of achievement obtained. The performance-based restricted stock units have a vesting condition that is based upon the Company’s cumulative adjusted core earnings per share during the performance period. The market-based restricted stock units generally vest on a cliff vesting schedule over three years and up to a maximum of 200%, depending on the specified performance condition and the level of achievement obtained. The market-based restricted stock units have a vesting condition that is tied to the Company’s total shareholder return based on the Company’s stock performance in relation to the companies in the Standard and Poor’s (S&P) Super Composite Technology Hardware and Equipment Index excluding the Company. During the six months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021, the Company awarded approximately 0.7 million and 1.2 million time-based restricted stock units, respectively, 0.2 million and 0.4 million performance-based restricted stock units, respectively, and 0.2 million and 0.3 million market-based restricted stock units, respectively.

12. Concentration of Risk and Segment Data

Concentration of Risk

Sales of the Company’s products are concentrated among specific customers. During the six months ended February 28, 2022, the Company’s five largest customers accounted for approximately 47% of its net revenue and 78 customers accounted for approximately 90% of its net revenue. Sales to these customers were reported in the Electronics Manufacturing Services (“EMS”) and Diversified Manufacturing Services (“DMS”) operating segments.

The Company procures components from a broad group of suppliers. Some of the products manufactured by the Company require one or more components that are available from only a single source.

Segment Data

Net revenue for the operating segments is attributed to the segment in which the service is performed. An operating segment’s performance is evaluated based on its pre-tax operating contribution, or segment income. Segment income is defined as net revenue less cost of revenue, segment selling, general and administrative expenses, segment research and development expenses and an allocation of corporate manufacturing expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses. Certain items are excluded from the calculation of segment income. Transactions between operating segments are generally recorded at amounts that approximate those at which we would transact with third parties.

The following table sets forth operating segment information (in millions):

Foreign source revenue	83.5	%	84.7	%	84.2	%	84.1	%

13. Income Taxes

Effective Income Tax Rate

The U.S. federal statutory income tax rate and the Company's effective income tax rate are as follows:

Table of Contents


	Three months ended				Six months ended
	February 28, 2022		February 28, 2021		February 28, 2022		February 28, 2021
U.S. federal statutory income tax rate	21.0	%	21.0	%	21.0	%	21.0	%
Effective income tax rate	21.7	%	26.9	%	22.8	%	28.5	%

The effective income tax rate decreased for the three months and six months ended February 28, 2022, compared to the three months and six months ended February 28, 2021, primarily due to decreased losses in tax jurisdictions with existing valuation allowances for the three months and six months ended February 28, 2022.

The effective income tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21.0% during the three months and six months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021, primarily due to: (i) losses in tax jurisdictions with existing valuation allowances and (ii) tax incentives granted to sites in China, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam.

14. Earnings Per Share and Dividends

Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates its basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company’s diluted earnings per share is calculated in a similar manner, but includes the effect of dilutive securities. The difference between the weighted average number of basic shares outstanding and the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding is primarily due to dilutive unvested restricted stock units.

Potential shares of common stock are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share when their effect would be antidilutive. Performance-based restricted stock units are considered dilutive when the related performance criteria have been met assuming the end of the reporting period represents the end of the performance period. All potential shares of common stock are antidilutive in periods of net loss. Potential shares of common stock not included in the computation of earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive or because the performance criterion was not met were as follows (in thousands):


	Three months ended		Six months ended
	February 28, 2022	February 28, 2021	February 28, 2022	February 28, 2021
Restricted stock units	465.6	1,103.5	465.6	1,074.2
Employee stock purchase plan	—	—	—	1.9

Dividends

The following table sets forth cash dividends declared by the Company to common stockholders during the six months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021 (in millions, except for per share data):

(1)Consist of investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of 90 days or less.

(2)The Company’s forward foreign exchange contracts are measured on a recurring basis at fair value, based on foreign currency spot rates and forward rates quoted by banks or foreign currency dealers.

(3)Fair value measurements are based on the contractual terms of the derivatives and use observable market-based inputs. The interest rate swaps are valued using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative using observable inputs including interest rate curves and credit spreads.

(4)The 2020 Extended Interest Rate Swaps were considered a hybrid instrument and the Company elected the fair value option for reporting. Fair value measurements were based on the contractual terms of the contract and used observable market-based inputs. The interest rate swaps were valued using a discounted cash flow analysis of the expected cash flows using observable inputs including interest rate curves and credit spreads.

Assets Held for Sale

The following table presents the assets held for sale:


	February 28, 2022		August 31, 2021
(in millions)	Carrying Amount		Carrying Amount
Assets held for sale (1)	$	31	$	61

(1)During the three months ended February 28, 2022, the Company sold assets held for sale with a carrying value of $30 million. As of February 28, 2022 and August 31, 2021, the carrying value of $31 million of assets held for sale approximates the fair value with the asset values measured using Level 2 inputs.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts of borrowings under credit facilities and under loans approximates fair value as interest rates on these instruments approximates current market rates.

Table of Contents

Notes payable and long-term debt is carried at amortized cost; however, the Company estimates the fair values of notes payable and long-term debt for disclosure purposes.

Item 2.			Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We are one of the leading providers of worldwide manufacturing services and solutions. We provide comprehensive electronics design, production and product management services to companies in various industries and end markets. Our services enable our customers to reduce manufacturing costs, improve supply-chain management, reduce inventory obsolescence, lower transportation costs and reduce product fulfillment time. Our manufacturing and supply chain management services and solutions include innovation, design, planning, fabrication and assembly, delivery and managing the flow of resources and products. We derive substantially all of our revenue from production and product management services (collectively referred to as “manufacturing services”), which encompass the act of producing tangible components that are built to customer specifications and are then provided to the customer.

We serve our customers primarily through dedicated business units that combine highly automated, continuous flow manufacturing with advanced electronic design and design for manufacturability. We currently depend, and expect to continue to depend for the foreseeable future, upon a relatively small number of customers for a significant percentage of our net revenue, which in turn depends upon their growth, viability and financial stability.

We conduct our operations in facilities that are located worldwide, including but not limited to, China, Ireland, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore and the United States. We derived a substantial majority, 83.5% and 84.2%, of net revenue from our international operations for the three months and six months ended February 28, 2022, respectively. Our global manufacturing production sites allow customers to manufacture products simultaneously in the optimal locations for their products. Our global presence is key to assessing and executing on our business opportunities.

We have two reporting segments: Electronics Manufacturing Services (“EMS”) and Diversified Manufacturing Services (“DMS”), which are organized based on the economic profiles of the services performed, including manufacturing capabilities, market strategy, margins, return on capital and risk profiles. Our EMS segment is focused around leveraging IT, supply chain design and engineering, technologies largely centered on core electronics, utilizing our large scale manufacturing infrastructure and our ability to serve a broad range of end markets. Our EMS segment is a high volume business that produces product at a quicker rate (i.e. cycle time) and in larger quantities and includes customers primarily in the 5G, wireless and cloud, digital print and retail, industrial and semi-cap, and networking and storage industries. Our DMS segment is focused on providing engineering solutions, with an emphasis on material sciences, technologies and healthcare. Our DMS segment includes customers primarily in the automotive and transportation, connected devices, healthcare and packaging, and mobility industries.

We monitor the current economic environment and its potential impact on both the customers we serve as well as our end-markets and closely manage our costs and capital resources so that we can respond appropriately as circumstances change.

Refer to Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021 for further discussion of the items disclosed in Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section as of February 28, 2022 contained herein.

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic, which began to impact us in January 2020, has continued to affect our business and the businesses of our customers and suppliers. Travel and business operation restrictions arising from virus containment efforts of governments around the world have continued to impact our operations in Asia, Europe and the Americas. Essential activity exceptions from these restrictions have allowed us to continue to operate but virus containment efforts have resulted in additional direct costs.

The impact on our suppliers has led to supply chain constraints, including difficulty sourcing materials necessary to fulfill customer production requirements and challenges in transporting completed products to our end customers.

Management regularly reviews financial and non-financial performance indicators to assess the Company’s operating results. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities are largely affected by our working capital requirements, which are dependent on the effective management of our sales cycle as well as timing of payments. Our sales cycle measures how quickly we can convert our manufacturing services into cash through sales. We believe the metrics set forth below are useful to investors in measuring our liquidity as future liquidity needs will depend on fluctuations in levels of inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable.

The following table sets forth, for the quarterly periods indicated, certain of management’s key financial performance indicators:

Three months ended

February 28, 2022

November 30, 2021

February 28, 2021

Sales cycle(1)

35 days

40 days

Days in inventory(4)

86 days

66 days

65 days

Days in accounts payable(5)

89 days

85 days

81 days

(1)The sales cycle is calculated as the sum of days in accounts receivable and days in inventory, less the days in accounts payable; accordingly, the variance in the sales cycle quarter over quarter was a direct result of changes in these indicators.

(2)Inventory turns (annualized) are calculated as 360 days divided by days in inventory.

(3)Days in accounts receivable is calculated as accounts receivable, net, divided by net revenue multiplied by 90 days. During the three months ended February 28, 2022, the decrease in days in accounts receivable from the prior sequential quarter was primarily due to lower sales and timing of collections.

(4)Days in inventory is calculated as inventory and contract assets divided by cost of revenue multiplied by 90 days. During the three months ended February 28, 2022, the increase in days in inventory from the prior sequential quarter and the three months ended February 28, 2021 was primarily due to higher raw material balances due to supply chain constraints.

(5)Days in accounts payable is calculated as accounts payable divided by cost of revenue multiplied by 90 days. During the three months ended February 28, 2022, the increase in days in accounts payable from the prior sequential quarter was primarily due to timing of purchases and cash payments during the quarter. During the three months ended February 28, 2022, the increase in days in accounts payable from the three months ended February 28, 2021 was primarily due to an increase for material purchases and the timing of payments.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. Management believes that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results may vary from these estimates and assumptions under different future circumstances. For further discussion of our significant accounting policies, refer to Note 1 — “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021.

Results of Operations

Net Revenue

Generally, we assess revenue on a global customer basis regardless of whether the growth is associated with organic growth or as a result of an acquisition. Accordingly, we do not differentiate or separately report revenue increases generated by acquisitions as opposed to existing business. In addition, the added cost structures associated with our acquisitions have historically been relatively insignificant when compared to our overall cost structure.

The distribution of revenue across our segments has fluctuated, and will continue to fluctuate, as a result of numerous factors, including the following: fluctuations in customer demand; efforts to diversify certain portions of our business; business growth from new and existing customers; specific product performance; and any potential termination, or substantial winding down, of significant customer relationships.

(dollars in millions)	February 28, 2022		February 28, 2021		Change		February 28, 2022		February 28, 2021		Change



Net revenue	$	7,553	$	6,828	10.6	%	$	16,120	$	14,661	10.0	%

Net revenue increased during the three months ended February 28, 2022, compared to the three months ended February 28, 2021. Specifically, the EMS segment net revenue increased 19% due to: (i) a 10% increase in revenues from existing customers within our 5G, wireless and cloud business, (ii) a 5% increase in revenues from existing customers within our digital print and retail business, (iii) a 3% increase in revenues from existing customers within our industrial and capital equipment business, and (iv) a 1% increase in revenues from existing customers within our networking and storage business. The DMS segment net revenue increased 4% due to: (i) a 7% increase in revenues from existing customers in our automotive and transportation business, (ii) a 3% increase in revenues from existing customers within our healthcare and packaging business, and (iii) a 3% increase in revenues from existing customers within our connected devices business. The increase is partially offset by a 9% decrease in revenues from existing customers within our mobility business.

Net revenue increased during the six months ended February 28, 2022, compared to the six months ended February 28, 2021. Specifically, the EMS segment net revenue increased 13% due to: (i) a 7% increase in revenues from existing customers within our 5G, wireless and cloud business, (ii) a 4% increase in revenues from existing customers within our industrial and capital equipment business, and (iii) a 3% increase in revenues from existing customers within our digital print and retail business. The increase is partially offset by a 1% decrease in revenues from existing customers within our networking and storage business. The DMS segment net revenue increased 8% due to: (i) a 6% increase in revenues from existing customers in our automotive and transportation business, and (ii) a 3% increase in revenues from existing customers within our healthcare and packaging business. The increase is partially offset by a 1% decrease in revenues from existing customers within our mobility business.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, revenue by segment expressed as a percentage of net revenue:

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased during the three months ended February 28, 2022, compared to the three months ended February 28, 2021. The decrease is primarily due to: (i) a $14 million decrease due to lower salary and salary related expenses and (ii) a $7 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense due to certain one-time awards granted during the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 and higher anticipated achievement levels during the three months ended February 28, 2021 for certain performance-based stock awards.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased during the six months ended February 28, 2022, compared to the six months ended February 28, 2021. The decrease is primarily due to: (i) a $9 million decrease due to lower salary and salary related expenses and (ii) a $6 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense due to certain one-time awards granted during the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 and higher anticipated achievement levels during the six months ended February 28, 2021 for certain performance-based stock awards.

Non-GAAP (Core) Financial Measures

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations include certain non-GAAP financial measures as identified in the reconciliations below. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed herein do not have standard meaning and may vary from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies or how we may calculate those measures in other instances from time to time. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Among other uses, management uses non-GAAP “core” financial measures to make operating decisions, assess business performance and as a factor in determining certain employee performance when evaluating incentive compensation. Also, our “core” financial measures should not be

Table of Contents

construed as an indication by us that our future results will be unaffected by those items that are excluded from our “core” financial measures.

We determine the tax effect of the items excluded from “core” earnings and “core” diluted earnings per share based upon evaluation of the statutory tax treatment and the applicable tax rate of the jurisdiction in which the pre-tax items were incurred, and for which realization of the resulting tax benefit, if any, is expected. In certain jurisdictions where we do not expect to realize a tax benefit (due to existing tax incentives or a history of operating losses or other factors resulting in a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets), a reduced or 0% tax rate is applied.

Included in the tables below are reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures as provided in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that our level of liquidity sources, which includes available borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and commercial paper program, additional proceeds available under our global asset-backed securitization program and under our

Table of Contents

uncommitted trade accounts receivable sale programs, cash on hand, cash flows provided by operating activities and access to the capital markets, will be adequate to fund our cash requirements, including capital expenditures, the payment of any declared quarterly dividends, any share repurchases under the approved program, any potential acquisitions and our working capital requirements for the next 12 months and beyond. We continue to assess our capital structure and evaluate the merits of redeploying available cash.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of February 28, 2022, we had approximately $1.1 billion in cash and cash equivalents, of which a significant portion was held by our foreign subsidiaries. Most of our foreign cash and cash equivalents as of February 28, 2022 could be repatriated to the United States without potential tax expense.

Notes Payable and Credit Facilities

Following is a summary of principal debt payments and debt issuance for our notes payable and credit facilities:

(1)As of February 28, 2022, we had $3.8 billion in available unused borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities. The senior unsecured credit agreement dated as of January 22, 2020 and amended on April 28, 2021 (the “Credit Facility”) acts as the back-up facility for commercial paper outstanding, if any. We have a borrowing capacity of up to $3.2 billion under our commercial paper program, which was increased from $1.8 billion on February 18, 2022. Borrowings with an original maturity of 90 days or less are recorded net within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, and have been excluded from the table above.

We have a shelf registration statement with the SEC registering the potential sale of an indeterminate amount of debt and equity securities in the future to augment our liquidity and capital resources.

Our Senior Notes and our credit facilities contain various financial and nonfinancial covenants. A violation of these covenants could negatively impact our liquidity by restricting our ability to borrow under the notes payable and credit facilities and potentially causing acceleration of amounts due under these notes payable and credit facilities. As of February 28, 2022 and August 31, 2021, we were in compliance with our debt covenants. Refer to Note 5 – “Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Global Asset-Backed Securitization Program

Certain Jabil entities participating in the global asset-backed securitization program continuously sell designated pools of trade accounts receivable to a special purpose entity, which in turn sells certain of the receivables at a discount to conduits administered by an unaffiliated financial institution on a monthly basis. In addition, a foreign entity participating in the global asset-backed securitization program sells certain receivables at a discount to conduits administered by an unaffiliated financial institution on a daily basis.

We continue servicing the receivables sold and in exchange receive a servicing fee under the global asset-backed securitization program. Servicing fees related to the asset-backed securitization programs recognized during the three months and six months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021 were not material. We do not record a servicing asset or liability on the Condensed

Table of Contents

Consolidated Balance Sheets as we estimate that the fee we receive to service these receivables approximates the fair market compensation to provide the servicing activities.

The special purpose entity in the global asset-backed securitization program is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and is included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain unsold receivables covering up to the maximum amount of net cash proceeds available under the domestic, or U.S., portion of the global asset-backed securitization program are pledged as collateral to the unaffiliated financial institution as of February 28, 2022.

The global asset-backed securitization program expires on November 25, 2024 and the maximum amount of net cash proceeds available at any one time is $600 million. During the three months and six months ended February 28, 2022, we sold $1.0 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively, of trade accounts receivable and we received cash proceeds of $1.0 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively. As of February 28, 2022, we had no available liquidity under our global asset-backed securitization program.

The global asset-backed securitization program requires compliance with several covenants including compliance with the interest ratio and debt to EBITDA ratio of the Credit Facility. As of February 28, 2022 and August 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all covenants under our global asset-backed securitization program. Refer to Note 6 – “Asset-Backed Securitization Program” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the program.

Trade Accounts Receivable Sale Programs

As of February 28, 2022, we may elect to sell receivables and the unaffiliated financial institution may elect to purchase specific accounts receivable at any one time up to a: (i) maximum aggregate amount available of $2.0 billion under nine trade accounts receivable sale programs, (ii) maximum amount available of 400 million CNY under one trade accounts receivable sale program and (iii) maximum amount available of 100 million CHF under one trade accounts receivable sale program. The trade accounts receivable sale programs expire on various dates through 2025.

During the three months and six months ended February 28, 2022, we sold $2.0 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively, of trade accounts receivable under these programs and we received cash proceeds of $2.0 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively. As of February 28, 2022, we had up to $1.6 billion in available liquidity under our trade accounts receivable sale programs.

Capital Expenditures

For Fiscal Year 2022, we anticipate our net capital expenditures will be approximately $850 million. In general, our capital expenditures support ongoing maintenance in our DMS and EMS segments and investments in capabilities and targeted end markets. The amount of actual capital expenditures may be affected by general economic, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors, among other things.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth selected consolidated cash flow information (in millions):


	Six months ended
	February 28, 2022		February 28, 2021
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	200	$	86
Net cash used in investing activities	(292)		(447)
Net cash used in financing activities	(381)		(189)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	(1)		(6)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(474)	$	(556)

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended February 28, 2022, was primarily due to net income and non-cash expenses and an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities; partially offset by: an increase in inventories, contract assets, prepaid expenses and other current assets and accounts receivable. The increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities is primarily due to the timing of purchases and cash payments. The increase in inventories was primarily due to higher raw material balances due to supply chain constraints. The increase in contract assets is primarily due to timing of revenue recognition for over time customers. The increase in prepaid expenses and other current

Table of Contents

assets is primarily due to the timing of payments. The increase in accounts receivable is primarily driven by higher sales and the timing of collections.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended February 28, 2022 consisted primarily of capital expenditures, principally to support ongoing business in the DMS and EMS segments, partially offset by proceeds and advances from the sale of property, plant and equipment.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended February 28, 2022 was primarily due to (i) payments for debt agreements, (ii) the repurchase of our common stock under our share repurchase authorization and (iii) the purchase of treasury stock under employee stock plans. Net cash used in financing activities was partially offset by borrowings under debt agreements.

Contractual Obligations

As of the date of this report, other than the new operating and finance leases, (see Note 4 – “Leases” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business, since August 31, 2021 to our contractual obligations and commitments and the related cash requirements.

Dividends and Share Repurchases

We currently expect to continue to declare and pay regular quarterly dividends of an amount similar to our past declarations. However, the declaration and payment of future dividends are discretionary and will be subject to determination by our Board of Directors each quarter following its review of our financial performance and global economic conditions.

In July 2021, the Board of Directors approved an authorization for the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of our common stock (the “2022 Share Repurchase Program”). As of February 28, 2022, 5.1 million shares had been repurchased for $314 million and $686 million remains available under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program.


Item 3.			Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes in our primary risk exposures or management of market risks from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021.


Item 4.			Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act (the “Evaluation”), under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act as of February 28, 2022. Based on the Evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our senior management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

For our fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2022, we did not identify any modifications to our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.			Legal Proceedings

See the discussion in Note 16 - “Commitments and Contingencies” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.


Item 1A.			Risk Factors

We have amended the following Risk Factor that appeared in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021.

We derive a substantial majority of our revenues from our international operations, which are subject to a number of different risks and often require more management time and expense than our domestic operations.

Our international operations are subject to a number of risks, including:

•difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations and attempting to ensure compliance with our policies, procedures, and applicable local laws;

•less flexible employee relationships that can be difficult and expensive to terminate due to, among other things, labor laws and regulations;

•rising labor costs (including the introduction or expansion of certain social programs), in particular within the lower-cost regions in which we operate, due to, among other things, demographic changes and economic development in those regions;

•labor unrest and dissatisfaction, including potential labor strikes or claims;

•increased scrutiny by the media and other third parties of labor practices within our industry (including working conditions, compliance with employment and labor laws and compensation) which may result in allegations of violations, more stringent and burdensome labor laws and regulations, higher labor costs and/or loss of revenues if our customers become dissatisfied with our labor practices and diminish or terminate their relationship with us;

•burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws, including those relating to export and import duties, domestic and foreign import and export controls, trade barriers (including tariffs and quotas), environmental policies and privacy issues, and local statutory corporate governance rules;

•risk of non-compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”) or similar regulations in other jurisdictions;

•less favorable, less predictable, or relatively undefined, intellectual property laws;

•lack of sufficient or available locations from which to operate or inability to renew leases on terms that are acceptable to us or at all;

•unexpected changes in regulatory requirements and laws or government or judicial interpretations of such regulatory requirements and laws and adverse trade policies, and adverse changes to any of the policies of either the U.S. or any of the foreign jurisdictions in which we operate;

•adverse changes in tax rates or accounting rules and the manner in which the U.S. and other countries tax multinational companies or interpret their tax laws or accounting rules or restrictions on the transfer of funds to us from our operations outside the U.S.;

•higher potential for theft, misappropriation or unauthorized access to or use of technology, data or intellectual property; and

•international trade disputes could result in tariffs and other protectionist measures that could adversely affect our business. Tariffs could increase the costs of the components and raw materials we use in the manufacturing process as well as import and export costs for finished products. Countries could adopt other protectionist measures that could limit our ability to manufacture products or provide services. Increased costs to our U.S. customers who use our non-U.S. manufacturing sites and components may adversely impact demand for our services and our results of operation and financial condition. Additionally, international trade disputes may cause our customers to decide to relocate the manufacturing of their products to another location, either within country, or into a new country. Relocations may require considerable management time as well as expenses related to market, personnel and facilities development before any significant revenue is generated, which may negatively affect our margin. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that all customer manufacturing needs can be met in available locations within the desired timeframe, or at all, which may cause us to lose business, which may negatively affect our financial condition and results of operation.

In particular, a significant portion of our manufacturing, design, support and storage operations are conducted in our facilities in China, and revenues associated with our China operations are important to our success. Therefore, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by economic, political, legal, regulatory, competitive, infrastructure and other factors in China. International trade disputes or political differences with China could result in tariffs and other measures that could adversely affect the Company’s business. The Chinese economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including the level of government involvement and control over economic growth. In addition, our operations in China are governed by Chinese laws, rules and regulations, some of which are relatively new. The Chinese legal system continues to rapidly evolve, which may result in uncertainties with respect to the interpretation and enforcement of Chinese laws, rules and regulations that could have a material adverse effect on our business. China experiences high turnover of direct labor in the manufacturing sector due to the intensely competitive and fluid market for labor, and the retention of adequate labor is a challenge. If our labor turnover rates are higher than we expect, or we otherwise fail to adequately manage our labor needs, then our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. We are also subject to risks associated with our subsidiaries organized in China. For example, regulatory and registration requirements and government approvals affect the financing that we can provide to our subsidiaries. If we fail to receive required registrations and approvals to fund our subsidiaries organized in China, or if our ability to remit currency out of China is limited, then our business and liquidity could be adversely affected.

These factors may harm our results of operations. Also, any measures that we may implement to reduce risks of our international operations may not be effective, may increase our expenses and may require significant management time and effort. Entry into new international markets requires considerable management time as well as start-up expenses related to market, personnel and facilities development before any significant revenue is generated. As a result, initial operations in a new market may operate at low margins or may be unprofitable.

Although we have implemented policies and procedures designed to cause compliance with the FCPA and similar laws, there can be no assurance that all of our employees and agents, as well as those companies to which we outsource certain of our business operations, will not take actions in violation of our policies which could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

This amended Risk Factor should be considered along with the other Risk Factors that could affect our business, results of operations, financial condition or future results included in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021.
