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 June 28, 2013, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 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.

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 period ended June 28, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014.

Table of Contents

 

and exercisable was 31.4 million and 30.8 million, respectively, at weighted-average exercise prices of $8.69 and $8.72 per share, respectively.

 

During the three-month period ended June 28, 2013, the Company granted 4.8 million unvested share bonus awards at an average grant date price of $8.34 per share, under its 2010 Equity Incentive Plan.  Of this amount, approximately 2.3 million represents the target amount of grants made to certain key employees whereby vesting is contingent on certain market conditions.  The number of shares that ultimately will vest are based on a measurement of the change in the Company’s share price over a certain specified period against the change in both the Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Composite Index and an Extended Electronics Manufacturing Systems (“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 June 28, 2013, approximately 20.9 million unvested share bonus awards were outstanding, of which vesting for 5.7 million is contingent on meeting certain market conditions.  The number of shares issued can range from zero to 10.8 million based on the achievement levels of the respective market conditions.

 

As of June 28, 2013, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share bonus awards is $102.5 million, net of estimated forfeitures, and will be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 2.57 years. Approximately $22.7 million of the total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, is related to awards whereby vesting is contingent on meeting certain market conditions.

expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.  Gains or losses from fair value adjustments for these instruments are designed to offset losses and gains from the Company’s revaluation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a non-functional currency. As of June 28, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the Company also has included net deferred losses and gains, respectively, in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of shareholders’ equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, relating to changes in fair value of its foreign currency contracts that are accounted for as cash flow hedges. These deferred losses and gains were not material, and the deferred losses as of June 28, 2013 are expected to be recognized primarily as a component of cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations primarily over the next twelve-month period. The gains and losses recognized in earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness were not material for all fiscal periods presented and are included as a component of interest and other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

8.  TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION

 

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

 

12



Table of Contents

 

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 sells 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 periods ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012 were not material and are included in interest and other expense, 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 June 28, 2013, approximately $1.0 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 $591.2 million and deferred purchase price receivables of approximately $420.9 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 June 28, 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 expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations; such amounts were $1.4 million and $1.8 million for the three-month periods ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, respectively.

 

As of June 28, 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 three-month periods ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, cash flows from sales of receivables under the ABS Programs consisted of approximately $0.9 billion and $1.0 billion for transfers of receivables, respectively (of which approximately $0.1 billion represented new transfers and the remainder proceeds from collections reinvested in revolving-period transfers for both periods).

 

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

Trade Accounts Receivable Sale Programs

 

The Company also sold accounts receivables to certain third-party banking institutions. The outstanding balance of receivables sold and not yet collected was approximately $216.4 million and $163.6 million as of June 28, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively. For the three-month periods ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, total accounts receivable sold to certain third party banking institutions was approximately $268.7 million and $367.8 million, respectively. The loss on sales of accounts receivables sold was not material for the three-month periods ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012 and recorded in interest and other expense, 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.

 

9. 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,

 

13



Table of Contents

 

and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The accounting guidance for fair value establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

The Company values deferred purchase price receivables relating to its asset-backed securitization program based on a discounted cash flow analysis using unobservable inputs (i.e., level 3 inputs), which are primarily risk free interest rates adjusted for the credit quality of the underlying creditor and due to its high credit quality and short term maturity their fair value approximates carrying value.  Significant increases in either of the significant unobservable inputs (credit spread, risk free interest rate) in isolation would result in lower fair value estimates, but is insignificant. The interrelationship between these inputs is also insignificant.  Refer to note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of the change in the deferred purchase price receivable during the three-month periods ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012.

 

There were no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy during the three-month periods ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012.

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

 

10. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

 

The Company initiated certain restructuring activities intended to improve its operational efficiencies by reducing excess workforce and capacity during fiscal year 2013. These restructuring activities extended through the quarter ended June 28, 2013. Restructuring charges are recorded based upon employee termination dates, site closure and consolidation plans.

 

During the three-month period ended June 28, 2013, the Company recognized restructuring charges of approximately $40.8 million, of which $32.2 million was associated with the terminations of 5,106 identified employees. The identified employee terminations by reportable geographic region amounted to approximately 3,947, 1,105 and 54 for Asia, the Americas and Europe, respectively. The costs associated with these restructuring activities include employee severance, other personnel costs, non-cash impairment charges on equipment no longer in use and are to be disposed of, and other exit related costs due to facility closures or rationalizations.  Of the total restructuring charges, $1.9 million were non-cash charges related to the impairment of long-lived assets, and were classified as a component of cost of sales.

 

The components of the restructuring charges by geographic region during the three-month period ended June 28, 2013 were as follows:

11. 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.  The cash consideration for this acquisition amounted to $178.9 million. The Company primarily acquired inventory of approximately $98.0 million, property and equipment of $48.0 million, and other assets in the amount of $32.9 million.  As of June 28, 2013, the valuation of assets and liabilities is preliminary, subject to the finalization of valuations of certain acquired assets and liabilities and further management review.  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, April 16, 2013, and was less than 10% of the total Company revenue for the three-month period ended June 28, 2013.  Operating results of the acquired operations during the three-month period ended June 28, 2013 were not significant to the condensed consolidated financial results of the Company.  Estimated pro-forma revenue relating to this business for the three-month period ended June 29, 2012 amounted to $937.2 million and operating results for the same period were insignificant.

 

Additionally, during the three-month period ended June 28, 2013, the Company completed another acquisition for $9.5 million that was not significant to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.  This business expanded the Company’s capabilities primarily in manufacturing operations for plastic parts and components.  The Company acquired primarily property and equipment in connection with this acquisition.  The results of operations were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial results beginning on the date of acquisition.  Pro-forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented because the effects of the acquisition were insignificant to the Company’s financial results.

 

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

 

12.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

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

 

13.  SHARE REPURCHASES

 

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company repurchased approximately 29.0 million shares for an aggregate purchase value of approximately $209.3 million, including repurchases made prior to the quarter end but not paid until after June 28, 2013, and retired all of these shares.  As of June 28, 2013, approximately 6.3 million shares were available to be repurchased under this plan.

 

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. Share repurchases by the Company under the share repurchase plan are subject to an aggregate limit of 10% of the

Company’s ordinary shares outstanding as of the date of shareholder approval.  The Company is authorized to repurchase up to a maximum of 61.2 million shares under this plan.

 

14.  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

During fiscal year 2013, the Company finalized the sale of two non-core businesses.  In accordance with the accounting guidance, these non-core businesses qualified as discontinued operations, and accordingly, the Company reported the results of operations of these businesses in discontinued operations within the condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented as applicable.

 

The results from discontinued operations for the three-month period ended June 29, 2012 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

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

 

During fiscal year 2013, Flextronics International Ltd. (“Parent”) issued two tranches of Notes of $500 million each, which mature on February 15, 2020 and February 15, 2023, respectively, in a private offering pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act. These notes are senior unsecured obligations, and are guaranteed, fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by certain of the Company’s 100% owned subsidiaries (the “guarantor subsidiaries”). These subsidiary guarantees will terminate upon 1) a sale or other disposition of the guarantor or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the guarantor (other than to Flextronics or a subsidiary); 2) such guarantor ceasing to be a guarantor or a borrower under the Company’s Term Loan Agreement and the Revolving Line of Credit; 3) defeasance or discharge of the Notes, as provided in the Notes indenture; or 4) if at any time the notes are rated investment grade.

 

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

OVERVIEW

 

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

 

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

 

We use a portfolio management approach to manage our extensive service offerings. As our OEM customers change the way they go to market, we reorganize and rebalance our business portfolio in order to align with our customers’ needs and requirements and to optimize our operating results. Over the past few years, we have experienced a shift in revenue towards our more complex and higher margin business groups (HRS, IEI, and INS) from our low margin and high volume HVS business group. Although our acquisition of certain manufacturing operations from Google’s Motorola Mobility LLC during the quarter is expected to increase the percentage of our revenues from the HVS market in fiscal year 2014 and beyond, we do not expect the percentage of revenues from our HVS business to approach the historical levels of concentration from prior fiscal years. The objective of our operating model is to allow us to redeploy and reposition our assets and resources to meet specific customer needs across all of the markets we serve, and we have been able to successfully reposition HVS assets and capacity to serve our customers in other business groups as required which illustrates the overall flexibility of our model.

 

During fiscal year 2013, 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 ramping to an increase in volume production during fiscal year 2014.  Until we achieve higher levels of revenue, we expect that our gross margin and operating margin may be negatively impacted as profitability normally lags revenue growth due to incremental start-up costs, operational inefficiencies, under-absorbed overhead costs and lower manufacturing program volumes while in the ramp phase.  We expect that our margins will improve over time as the revenue increases due to increased volumes from these programs.

 

We are one of the world’s largest providers of global supply chain solutions, with revenues of $5.8 billion during the three-month period ended June 28, 2013 and $23.6 billion in fiscal year 2013.  As of June 28, 2013, our total manufacturing capacity was approximately 28.4 million square feet.  We design, build, ship and service electronics products for our customers through a network of facilities in over 30 countries across four continents.  The following tables set forth net sales and net property and equipment, by country, based on the location of our manufacturing sites and the relative percentages:

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

·             our exposure to financially troubled customers; and

 

·             integration of acquired businesses and facilities.

 

Our business has been subject to seasonality primarily due to our HVS market, 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.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain statements of operations data expressed as a percentage of net sales. The financial information and the discussion below should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this document.

Net sales during the three-month period ended June 28, 2013 totaled $5.8 billion, representing a decrease of approximately $0.2 billion, or 3.1%, from $6.0 billion during the three-month period ended June 29, 2012. The decline in net sales was primarily as a result of broad softness in our telecom related business. Net sales decreased by $0.2 billion in Europe, and remained consistent in Asia and the Americas.

 

Our ten largest customers during the three-month periods ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012 accounted for approximately 49% and 48% of net sales, respectively. No customer accounted for greater than 10% of our net sales during the three-month periods ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, respectively.

Gross profit

 

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

 

Gross profit during the three-month period ended June 28, 2013 decreased $46.4 million to $311.0 million, or 5.4% of net sales from $357.4 million, or 6.0% of net sales, during the three-month period ended June 29, 2012. Gross margins deteriorated 60 basis points in the three-month period ended June 28, 2013 compared to that of the three-month period ended June 29, 2012 due to the restructuring charges amounting to $35.1 million, or 60 basis points, included in cost of sales in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014.

 

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 are targeted at rationalizing our global manufacturing capacity and infrastructure and will 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.  The restructuring charges by geographic region amounted to approximately $21.3 million in Asia, $13.6 million in the Americas and $5.9 million in Europe.  We expect these restructuring activities will allow for potential savings through reduced employee expenses and lower operating costs and to generate approximately $40.0 million of cost savings per quarter commencing in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.  As of June 28, 2013, accrued costs related to restructuring charges incurred but not paid were approximately $111.0 million, of which $101.2 million was classified as a current obligation. We currently do not expect additional restructuring charges in fiscal year 2014.

 

Refer to note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our restructuring activities.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) amounted to $218.0 million, or 3.8% of net sales, during the three-month period ended June 28, 2013, increasing $27.7 million from $190.3 million, or 3.2% of net sales, during the three-month period ended June 29, 2012. The increase in SG&A in dollars and as a percentage of net sales for the three-month period ended June 28, 2013 was primarily due to increasing costs relating to acquisitions, innovation for our supply chain solution technologies, enhancement of our selling and business development activities and incremental corporate infrastructure to support the increasing complexities of our business.

 

Intangible amortization

 

Amortization of intangible assets increased by $0.4 million during the three-month period ended June 28, 2013 to $8.2 million from $7.8 million for the three-month period ended June 29, 2012. The increase during the period was primarily due to additional expense on intangible assets recognized in connection with our acquisitions during the 2013 fiscal year, offset by less expense on intangible assets that became fully amortized or were sold during fiscal year 2013.

 

Interest and other expense, net

 

Interest and other expense, net was $19.7 million during the three-month period ended June 28, 2013 compared to $10.8 million during the three-month period ended June 29, 2012, resulting in an increase of $8.9 million. During the quarter ended June 28, 2013 we recognized a $7.1 million loss on the sale of common shares of a certain supplier. Further, our net interest costs increased by $6.6 million during the same period primarily as a result of incremental interest expense from our refinancing of $1.0 billion of our lower rate floating term loans with higher fixed rate subordinated notes due in 2020 and 2023. The increase in expense was partially offset by $6.0 million of income as a result of the fair value adjustment of contingent considerations relating to certain insignificant historical business acquisitions.

Income taxes

 

Certain of our subsidiaries have, at various times, been granted tax relief in their respective countries, resulting in lower income taxes than would otherwise be the case under ordinary tax rates. Refer to note 11, “Income Taxes,” of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 for further discussion.

 

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

 

The consolidated effective tax rate was 0.5% and 7.8% for three-month periods ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, respectively, and varies from the Singapore statutory rate of 17.0% as a result of the amount of earnings from different jurisdictions, operating loss carryforwards, income tax credits, changes in previously established valuation allowances for deferred tax assets based upon our current analysis of the realizability of these deferred tax assets, changes in liabilities for uncertain tax positions, as well as certain tax holidays and incentives granted to our subsidiaries primarily in China, Malaysia, Israel, and Singapore. We generate most of our revenues and profits from operations outside of Singapore. We currently do not anticipate a significant impact to our fiscal year 2014 effective rate as a result of changes to the mix in revenues and operating profits between taxing jurisdictions.  The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended June 28, 2013 is lower than the effective rate for the three-month period ended June 29, 2012 primarily as a result of a net decrease in liabilities for uncertain tax positions of $8.6 million (primarily driven by a tax audit settlement during the current quarter), which is recorded on a discrete basis in the quarter in which circumstances change and indicate an adjustment to income tax assets or liabilities is required.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

As of June 28, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.3 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 June 28, 2013, we were in compliance with the covenants under each of our existing credit facilities and indenture.

 

Cash provided by operating activities was $198.6 million during the three-month period ended June 28, 2013. This resulted primarily from $59.3 million of net income for the period as adjusted to exclude approximately $119.1 million of net non-cash expenses for depreciation, amortization and other impairment charges, and $20.3 million from changes in our operating assets and liabilities.

 

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

Days in trade accounts receivable was calculated as average accounts receivable for the current and prior quarters, excluding the reduction in accounts receivable resulting from non-cash accounts receivable sales, divided by annualized sales for the current quarter by day.  During the three-month period ended June 28, 2013, days in trade accounts receivable decreased by 4 days to 43 days compared to the three-month period ended June 29, 2012 primarily due to the timing of invoicing and customer collections.  Non-cash accounts receivable sales, or deferred purchase price receivables included in the calculation of days in trade receivables were $420.9 million, $412.4 million, $462.0 million, $458.1 million and $513.9 million for the quarters ended June 28, 2013, March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012, September 28, 2012, and June 29, 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 8 of our notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Days in inventory was calculated as the average inventory for the current and prior quarters divided by annualized cost of sales for the respective quarter by day.  Days in inventory during the three-month period ended June 28, 2013 decreased by 3 days to 49 days, compared to the three-month period ended June 29, 2012.  The decrease was primarily as a result of our acquisition of certain manufacturing facilities from Google’s Motorola Mobility during the three months ended June 28, 2013 which is included in our HVS business.  HVS generally carry higher inventory turns than the overall company average.

 

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 June 28, 2013, days in accounts payable decreased

by 2 days to 67 days compared to the three-month period ended June 29, 2012 primarily due to reduced average accounts payable balances in the current quarter as a result of timing of payments.

 

Our cash conversion cycle was calculated as the sum of inventory turns in days and days sales of receivables outstanding less days payable outstanding in accounts payable.  During the three-month period ended June 28, 2013, our cash conversion cycle decreased by 5 days to 25 days compared to the three-month period ended June 29, 2012, due to the factors for each of the components in the calculation discussed above.

 

Cash used by investing activities amounted to $298.7 million during the three-month period ended June 28, 2013.  This resulted primarily from the payment of $187.5 million towards the acquisition of two businesses completed during the three-month period ended June 28, 2013, $141.4 million in net capital expenditures for property and equipment and $37.1 million relating to purchases of other investments and customer specific assets.  These were partially offset by proceeds of $67.3 million from our sale of shares in a certain supplier.

 

We believe free cash flow is an important liquidity metric because it measures, during a given period, the amount of cash generated that is available to repay debt obligations, make investments, fund acquisitions, repurchase company shares and for certain other activities. Our free cash flow, which is calculated as cash provided by operations less net purchases of property and equipment, was an inflow of $57.2 million for the three-month period ended June 28, 2013 compared to an outflow of $59.0 million for the three-month period ended June 29, 2012. Free cash flow is not a measure of liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner. Free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities.  Free cash flows reconcile to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure of cash flows from operations as follows:

Cash used in financing activities was $197.6 million during the three-month period ended June 28, 2013, which was primarily the result of cash paid of $215.2 million related to the repurchase of our ordinary shares and net repayments of debt of $9.0 million, partially off-set by the funding used to finance customer specific assets amounting to $15.7 million.

 

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 June 28, 2013 and March 31, 2013, approximately half of our cash and cash equivalents were held by foreign subsidiaries outside of Singapore.  Although substantially all of the amounts held outside of Singapore could be repatriated, under current laws, a significant amount could be subject to income tax withholdings. We provide for tax liabilities on these amounts for financial statement purposes, except for certain of our foreign earnings that are considered indefinitely reinvested outside of Singapore (approximately $457.7 million as of March 31, 2013). Repatriation could result in an additional income tax payment, however, our intent is to permanently reinvest these funds outside of Singapore and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund our operations. Where local restrictions prevent an efficient intercompany transfer of funds, our intent is that cash balances would remain outside of Singapore and we would meet our liquidity needs through ongoing cash flows, external borrowings, or both.

 

Future liquidity needs will depend on fluctuations in levels of inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable, the timing of capital expenditures for new equipment, the extent to which we utilize operating leases for new facilities and equipment, and the levels of shipments and changes in the volumes of customer orders.

 

Historically, we have funded operations from cash and cash equivalents generated from operations, proceeds from public offerings of equity and debt securities, bank debt and lease financings.  We also sell a designated pool of trade receivables under asset-backed securitization programs and sell certain trade receivables, which are in addition to the trade receivables sold in connection with these securitization agreements.

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

 

We continue to assess our capital structure and evaluate the merits of redeploying available cash to reduce existing debt or repurchase ordinary shares. During the three-month period ended June 28, 2013 we improved our cash flow from operations further by $87.1 million through increasing the amount of trade receivables sold for cash.

 

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, we repurchased 29.0 million of the Company’s shares, and retired all of these shares. As of June 28, 2013, approximately 6.3 million of the authorized shares were remaining to be repurchased under the current plan.

 

Our Board of Directors, on July 24, 2013, authorized the repurchase of up to 10% of our outstanding ordinary shares which was subsequently approved by our shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on July 29, 2013. Share repurchases under the share repurchase plan are subject to an aggregate limit of 10% of our ordinary shares outstanding as of the date of the shareholder approval.  We are authorized to repurchase up to a maximum of 61.2 million shares under this plan.

 

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.

 

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 June 28, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the fair value of our deferred purchase price receivable was approximately $420.9 million and $412.4 million, respectively. As of June 28, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the outstanding balance on receivables sold for cash was $807.6 million 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 8 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 three-month period ended June 28, 2013 as compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of June 28, 2013, the end of the quarterly fiscal period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 28, 2013, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our first quarter of fiscal year 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

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

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

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