Recent Developments Related to COVID-19
For a discussion of the effects of COVID-19 on our business, see "Recent
Developments Related to COVID-19" in PART I - ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Revenues
We believe our ability to expand our relationships with existing customers and
attract new customers is due to a number of factors, including our broad range
of complex engineering and manufacturing service offerings, flexible low-cost
manufacturing platform, process optimization capabilities, advanced supply chain
management, excellent customer service, and experienced management team.
Although we expect the prices we charge for our manufactured products to
decrease over time (partly as a result of competitive market forces), we still
believe we will be able to maintain favorable pricing for our services because
of our ability to reduce cycle time, adjust our product mix by focusing on more
complicated products, improve product quality and yields, and reduce material
costs for the products we manufacture. We believe these capabilities have
enabled us to help our OEM customers reduce their manufacturing costs while
maintaining or improving the design, quality, reliability, and delivery times
for their products.
Revenues, by percentage, from individual customers representing 10% or more of
our total revenues is set forth in Note 22 of our audited consolidated financial
statements. Because we depend upon a small number of customers for a significant
percentage of our total revenues, a reduction in orders from, a loss of, or any
other adverse actions by, any one of these customers would reduce our revenues
and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and
share price. Moreover, our customer concentration increases the concentration of
our accounts receivable and payment default by any of our key customers will
negatively impact our exposure. Many of our existing and potential customers
have substantial debt burdens, have experienced financial distress or have
static or declining revenues, all of which may be exacerbated by the continued
uncertainty in the global economies. Certain customers have gone out of business
or have been acquired or announced their withdrawal from segments of the optics
market. We generate significant accounts payable and inventory for the services
that we provide to our customers, which could expose us to substantial and
potentially unrecoverable costs if we do not receive payment from our customers.
Therefore, any financial difficulties that our key customers experience could
materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition by
generating charges for inventory write-offs, provisions for doubtful accounts,
and increases in working capital requirements due to increased days inventory
and in accounts receivable.
Furthermore, reliance on a small number of customers gives those customers
substantial purchasing power and leverage in negotiating contracts with us. In
addition, although we enter into master supply agreements with our customers,
the level of business to be transacted under those agreements is not guaranteed.
Instead, we are awarded business under those agreements on a project-by-project
basis. Some of our customers have at times significantly reduced or delayed the
volume of manufacturing services that they order from us. If we are unable to
maintain our relationships with our existing significant customers, our
business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed.
COVID-19 has also created dynamics in the semiconductor component supply chain
that have led to shortages of the types of components needed in the products we
manufacture for our customers. If we or our customers are unable to procure
needed semiconductor components, our ability to manufacture products for our
customers will be impacted, which may reduce our revenue as we experienced
during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021. The impact of semiconductor
component shortages may increase in the near term as supplier and customer
buffer inventories and safety stocks are exhausted.
Revenues by Geography
We generate revenues from three geographic regions: North America, Asia-Pacific,
and Europe. Revenues are attributed to a particular geographic area based on the
bill-to-location of our customers, notwithstanding that our customers may
ultimately ship their products to end customers in a different geographic
region. The substantial majority of our revenues are derived from our
manufacturing facilities in Asia-Pacific.
The percentage of our revenues generated from a bill-to-location outside of
North America increased from 49.4% in fiscal year 2020 to 52.8% in fiscal year
2021, which was partially due to an increase in sales to our customers in
Asia-Pacific by 1.9%. Based on the short- and medium-term indications and
forecasts from our customers, we expect that the portion of our
                                       35

future revenues attributable to customers in regions outside of North America

customers during fiscal year 2021.

Our Contracts
We enter into supply agreements with our customers which generally have an
initial term of up to three years, subject to automatic renewals for subsequent
one-year terms unless expressly terminated. Although there are no minimum
purchase requirements in our supply agreements, our customers provide us with
rolling forecasts of their demand requirements. Our supply agreements generally
include provisions for pricing and periodic review of pricing, consignment of
our customer's unique production equipment to us, and the sharing of benefits
from cost-savings derived from our efforts. We are generally required to
purchase materials, which may include long lead-time materials and materials
that are subject to minimum order quantities and/or non-cancelable or
non-returnable terms, to meet the stated demands of our customers. After
procuring materials, we manufacture products for our customers based on purchase
orders that contain terms regarding product quantities, delivery locations and
delivery dates. Our customers generally are obligated to purchase finished goods
that we have manufactured according to their demand requirements. Materials that
are not consumed by our customers within a specified period of time, or that are
no longer required due to a product's cancellation or end-of-life, are typically
designated as excess or obsolete inventory under our contracts. Once materials
are designated as either excess or obsolete inventory, our customers are
typically required to purchase such inventory from us even if they have chosen
to cancel production of the related products. The excess or obsolete inventory
is shipped to the customer and revenue is recognized upon shipment.
Cost of Revenues
The key components of our cost of revenues are material costs, employee costs,
and infrastructure-related costs. Material costs generally represent the
majority of our cost of revenues. Several of the materials we require to
manufacture products for our customers are customized for their products and
often sourced from a single supplier or in some cases, our own subsidiaries.
Shortages from sole-source suppliers due to yield loss, quality concerns and
capacity constraints, among other factors, may increase our expenses and
negatively impact our gross profit margin or total revenues in a given quarter.
Material costs include scrap material. Historically, scrap rate diminishes
during a product's life cycle due to process, fixturing and test improvement and
optimization.
A second significant element of our cost of revenues is employee costs,
including indirect employee costs related to design, configuration and
optimization of manufacturing processes for our customers, quality testing,
materials testing and other engineering services; and direct costs related to
our manufacturing employees. Direct employee costs include employee salaries,
insurance and benefits, merit-based bonuses, recruitment, training and
retention. Historically, our employee costs have increased primarily due to
increases in the number of employees necessary to support our growth and, to a
lesser extent, costs to recruit, train and retain employees. Our cost of
revenues is significantly impacted by salary levels in Thailand, the PRC and the
United Kingdom, the fluctuation of the Thai baht, RMB and GBP against our
functional currency, the U.S. dollar, and our ability to retain our employees.
We expect our employee costs to increase as wages continue to increase in
Thailand and the PRC. Wage increases may impact our ability to sustain our
competitive advantage and may reduce our profit margin. We seek to mitigate
these cost increases through improvements in employee productivity, employee
retention and asset utilization.
Our infrastructure costs are comprised of depreciation, utilities, facilities
management and overhead costs. Most of our facility leases are long-term
agreements. Our depreciation costs include buildings and fixed assets, primarily
at our Pinehurst and Chonburi campuses in Thailand, and capital equipment
located at each of our manufacturing locations.
During fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019, discretionary merit-based bonus awards
were made to our non-executive employees. Charges included in cost of revenues
for bonus awards to non-executive employees were $4.7 million, $4.6 million and
$3.9 million for fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

  Table of Contents
Share-based compensation expense included in cost of revenues was $6.2 million,
$6.1 million and $5.7 million for fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019,
respectively.
We expect to incur incremental costs of revenue as a result of our planned
expansion into new geographic markets, though we are not able to determine the
amount of these incremental expenses.
In addition, we expect our cost of revenue to increase in the first quarter of
fiscal 2022 in response to the recent surge in COVID-19 cases, particularly in
our Thailand operations. We have implemented additional safeguards beyond what
we have been doing for the past 18 months in order to protect our employees. For
example, we have increased testing of our employees and have sent employees home
- with pay - if they test positive for COVID-19. In addition, we have been
granted permission by the Thai government to vaccinate our employees and have
been carrying out this initiative since July 2021 at our expense.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Our SG&A expenses primarily consist of corporate employee costs for sales and
marketing, general and administrative and other support personnel, including
research and development expenses related to the design of customized optics and
glass, travel expenses, legal and other professional fees, share-based
compensation expense and other general expenses not related to cost of revenues.
In fiscal year 2022, we expect our SG&A expenses will increase compared with our
fiscal year 2021 SG&A expenses.
The compensation committee of our board of directors approved a fiscal year 2021
executive incentive plan with quantitative objectives based solely on achieving
certain revenue targets and non-U.S. GAAP operating margin targets for fiscal
year 2021. Bonuses under the fiscal year 2021 executive incentive plan are
payable after the end of fiscal year 2021. In fiscal year 2020, the compensation
committee approved a fiscal year 2020 executive incentive plan with quantitative
objectives that were based solely on achieving certain revenue targets and
non-U.S. GAAP operating margin targets for fiscal year 2020. In the three months
ended September 29, 2020, the compensation committee awarded bonuses to our
executive employees for Company achievements of performance under our fiscal
year 2020 executive incentive plan. Discretionary merit-based bonus awards are
also available to our non-executive employees and payable on a quarterly basis.
Charges included in SG&A expenses for bonus distributions to non-executive and
executive employees were $4.2 million, $4.1 million and $3.7 million for fiscal
years 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Share-based compensation expense included in SG&A expenses was $19.3 million,
$16.1 million and $11.5 million for fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019,
respectively.
Additional Financial Disclosures
Foreign Exchange
As a result of our international operations, we are exposed to foreign exchange
risk arising from various currency exposures primarily with respect to the Thai
baht. Although a majority of our total revenues is denominated in U.S. dollars,
a substantial portion of our payroll plus certain other operating expenses are
incurred and paid in Thai baht. The exchange rate between the Thai baht and the
U.S. dollar has fluctuated substantially in recent years and may continue to
fluctuate substantially in the future. We report our financial results in U.S.
dollars and our results of operations have been and could in the future be
negatively impacted if the Thai baht appreciates against the U.S. dollar.
Smaller portions of our expenses are incurred in a variety of other currencies,
including RMB, GBP, Canadian dollars, Euros, and Japanese yen, the appreciation
of which may also negatively impact our financial results.
In order to manage the risks arising from fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates, we use derivative instruments. We may enter into foreign
currency exchange forward or put option contracts to manage foreign currency
exposures associated with certain assets and liabilities and other forecasted
foreign currency transactions and may designate these instruments as hedging
instruments. The forward and put option contracts generally have maturities of
up to 12 months. All foreign currency exchange contracts are recognized in the
consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Gains or losses on our forward and
put option contracts generally present gross amount in the assets, liabilities,
and transactions economically hedged.
We had foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities in Thai baht, RMB and
GBP as follows:

The Thai baht assets represent cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts
receivable, deposits and other current assets. The Thai baht liabilities
represent trade accounts payable, accrued expenses, income tax payable and other
payables. We manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates by
the use of foreign currency contracts and offsetting assets and liabilities
denominated in the same currency in accordance with management's policy. As of
June 25, 2021, there was $130.0 million in foreign currency forward contracts
outstanding on the Thai baht payables. As of June 26, 2020, there was $125.0
million in foreign currency forward contracts and $1.0 million in foreign
currency option contracts outstanding on the Thai baht payables.
The RMB assets represent cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable
and other current assets. The RMB liabilities represent trade accounts payable,
accrued expenses, income tax payable and other payables. As of June 25, 2021 and
June 26, 2020, we did not have any derivative contracts denominated in RMB.
The GBP assets represent cash and trade accounts receivable. The GBP liabilities
represent trade accounts payable and other payables. As of June 25, 2021 and
June 26, 2020, we did not have any derivative contracts denominated in GBP.
For fiscal years 2021 and 2020, we recorded an unrealized loss of $1.5 million
and $1.2 million, respectively, related to derivatives that are not designated
as hedging instruments in the consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive income.
Currency Regulation and Dividend Distribution
Foreign exchange regulation in the PRC is primarily governed by the following
rules:
•Foreign Currency Administration Rules, as amended on August 5, 2008, or the
Exchange Rules;
•Administration Rules of the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange
(1996), or the Administration Rules; and
•Notice on Perfecting Practices Concerning Foreign Exchange Settlement Regarding
the Capital Contribution by Foreign-invested Enterprises, as promulgated by the
State Administration of Foreign Exchange ("SAFE"), on August 29, 2008, or
Circular 142.
Under the Exchange Rules, RMB is freely convertible into foreign currencies for
current account items, including the distribution of dividends, interest
payments, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions. However,
conversion of RMB for capital account items, such as direct investments, loans,
security investments and repatriation of investments, is still subject to the
approval of SAFE.
Under the Administration Rules, foreign-invested enterprises may only buy, sell,
or remit foreign currencies at banks authorized to conduct foreign exchange
business after providing valid commercial documents and relevant supporting
documents and, in the case of capital account item transactions, obtaining
approval from SAFE. Capital investments by foreign-invested enterprises outside
of the PRC are also subject to limitations, which include approvals by the
Ministry of Commerce, SAFE and the State Development and Reform Commission.
                                       38
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
Circular 142 regulates the conversion by a foreign-invested company of foreign
currency into RMB by restricting how the converted RMB may be used. Circular 142
requires that the registered capital of a foreign-invested enterprise settled in
RMB converted from foreign currencies may only be used for purposes within the
business scope approved by the applicable governmental authority and may not be
used for equity investments within the PRC. In addition, SAFE strengthened its
oversight of the flow and use of the registered capital of foreign-invested
enterprises settled in RMB converted from foreign currencies. The use of such
RMB capital may not be changed without SAFE's approval and may not be used to
repay RMB loans if the proceeds of such loans have not been used.
On January 5, 2007, SAFE promulgated the Detailed Rules for Implementing the
Measures for the Administration on Individual Foreign Exchange, or the
Implementation Rules. Under the Implementation Rules, PRC citizens who are
granted share options by an overseas publicly-listed company are required,
through a PRC agent or PRC subsidiary of such overseas publicly-listed company,
to register with SAFE and complete certain other procedures.
In addition, the General Administration of Taxation has issued circulars
concerning employee share options. Under these circulars, our employees working
in the PRC who exercise share options will be subject to PRC individual income
tax. Our PRC subsidiary has obligations to file documents related to employee
share options with relevant tax authorities and withhold individual income taxes
of those employees who exercise their share options.
Furthermore, our transfer of funds to our subsidiaries in Thailand and the PRC
are each subject to approval by governmental authorities in case of an increase
in registered capital, or subject to registration with governmental authorities
in case of a shareholder loan. These limitations on the flow of funds between
our subsidiaries and us could restrict our ability to act in response to
changing market conditions.
Income Tax
Our effective tax rate is a function of the mix of tax rates in the various
jurisdictions in which we do business. We are domiciled in the Cayman Islands.
Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, we are not subject to tax in the
Cayman Islands on income or capital gains until March 6, 2039.
Throughout the period of our operations in Thailand, we have generally received
income tax and other incentives from the Thailand Board of Investment.
Preferential tax treatment from the Thai government in the form of a corporate
tax exemption on income generated from projects to manufacture certain products
at our Chonburi campus is currently available to us through June 2026. Similar
preferential tax treatment was available to us through June 2020 with respect to
products manufactured at our Pinehurst campus Building 6. After June 2020, 50%
of our income generated from products manufactured at our Pinehurst campus will
be exempted from tax through June 2025. Such preferential tax treatment is
contingent on various factors, including the export of our customers' products
out of Thailand and our agreement not to move our manufacturing facilities out
of our current province in Thailand for at least 15 years from the date on which
preferential tax treatment was granted. Currently, the corporate income tax rate
for our Thai subsidiary is 20%.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted on December 22, 2017 and provided for
significant changes to U.S. tax law, including a reduction in the U.S. corporate
income tax rate to 21%, which is the current rate for our U.S. subsidiaries.
The corporate income tax rates for our subsidiaries in the PRC, the U.K. and
Israel are 25%, 19% and 23%, respectively.
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP,
which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities on
the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the financial reporting period. We continually
evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available
information, our own historical experience and on various other assumptions that
we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The evaluation results form
the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Because the use of
estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual
results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies
require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. We consider
the policies discussed below to be critical to an understanding of our
consolidated financial statements, as their application places the most
significant demands on our management's judgment.
A quantitative sensitivity analysis is provided where such information is
reasonably available, can be reliably estimated, and provides material
information to investors. The amounts used to assess sensitivity are included
for illustrative purposes only and do not represent management's predictions of
variability.

Our critical accounting policies and the adoption of new accounting policies are
disclosed in Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies. There were no
changes to our accounting policies other than the adoption of ASC 326,
"Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
Instruments" and ASC 820, "Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure
Requirements for Fair Value Measurement."
Revenue Recognition
On June 30, 2018, we adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method,
which was applied to those contracts which were not completed as of June 29,
2018. The modified retrospective method required us to recognize the cumulative
effect of the adoption of ASC 606, for all contracts with customers, to the
opening balance of equity at June 30, 2018.
We derive total revenues primarily from the assembly of products under supply
agreements with our customers and the fabrication of customized optics and
glass. We recognize revenue relating to contracts that depict the transfer of
promised goods or services to customers in an amount reflecting the
consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for such goods or
services. In order to meet this requirement, we apply the following five steps:
(1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance
obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate
the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5)
recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue is
recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which is subsequently
remitted to governmental authorities.
A performance obligation is a contractual promise to transfer a distinct good or
service to the customer. In contracts with multiple performance obligations, we
identify each performance obligation and evaluate whether the performance
obligation is distinct within the context of the contract at contract inception.
The majority of our contracts have a single performance obligation, as the
promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately
identifiable from other promises under the contracts and, therefore, is not
distinct.
Sales of finished goods
We manufacture products that are customized to customers' specifications;
however, control of the products is typically transferred to the customer at the
point in time the product is either shipped or delivered, depending on the terms
of the arrangement, as the criteria for over time recognition are not met. On
evaluation of the contracts, we identified that there were no contractual rights
to bill profit for work in progress in the event of a contract termination,
which is expected to be infrequent. Further, in limited circumstances, contracts
provide for substantive acceptance by the customer, which results in the
deferral of revenue until formal notice of acceptance is received from the
customer. Judgment may be required in determining if an acceptance clause
provides for substantive acceptance.
Certain customers may request us to store finished products at our warehouse
where customers bear risks of loss themselves. In these instances, we receive a
written request from the customer asking us to hold the inventory at our
warehouse and refrain from using the ordered goods to fulfill other customer
orders. In these situations, revenue is only recognized when the completed goods
are ready for shipment and transferred to our warehouse.
Customers generally are obligated to purchase finished goods that we have
manufactured according to their demand requirements. Materials that are not
consumed by customers within a specified period of time, or are no longer
required due to a product's cancellation or end-of-life, are typically
designated as excess or obsolete inventory under our contracts. Once materials
are designated as either excess or obsolete inventory, customers are typically
required to purchase such inventory from us even if the customer has chosen to
cancel production of the related products. The excess or obsolete inventory is
shipped to the customer and revenue is recognized upon shipment.
A contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance
obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is
satisfied. In determining the net consideration to which we expect to be
entitled, we evaluate whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment. We
generally do not grant return privileges, except for in the case of defective
products during the warranty period. We generally provide a warranty of between
one to five years on any given product. These standard warranties are
assurance-type warranties, and we do not offer any services in addition to the
assurance that the product will continue to work as specified.
We recognize revenue net of rebates and other similar allowances. Revenues are
recognized only if these estimates can be reasonably and reliably determined. We
estimate expected rebates and other similar allowances based on historical
results taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction
and the specifics of each arrangement. We consider such estimated rebates and
other similar allowances as variable consideration when allocating the
transaction price to the extent it is probable that there will not be a
significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized. The estimate is primarily
based on the most likely level of consideration to be paid to the customer under
the specific terms of each arrangement.

Services
We provide services for customers that are related to our manufacturing
activities. In many cases, although the nature of work performed is that of a
service, revenue is only recognizable upon shipment of the product because the
customer has specific requirements as to how many items can be shipped at any
given point in time, i.e. at point-in-time. The related costs are expensed as
incurred.
Long-Lived Assets
We review property, plant and equipment for impairment on a quarterly basis or
when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying
amount of a long-lived asset or assets group exceeds its fair value.
Recoverability of property and equipment is measured by comparing carrying
amount to the projected undiscounted cash flows the property and equipment are
expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment loss recognized, if any, is the amount by which the carrying amount
of the property and equipment exceeds its fair value.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers' financial condition and
make provisions for doubtful accounts based on the outcomes of these credit
evaluations. We evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable based on
specific customer circumstances, current economic trends, historical experience
with collections, and the age of past due receivables. Unanticipated changes in
the liquidity or financial position of our customers may require additional
provisions for doubtful accounts. Under our specific identification method, it
is not practical to assess the sensitivity of our estimates.
Inventory Valuation
Our inventory is stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or
market value. Our industry is characterized by rapid technological change,
short-term customer commitments, and rapid changes in demand. We make provisions
for estimated excess and obsolete inventory based on regular reviews of
inventory quantities on hand on a quarterly basis and the latest forecasts of
product demand and production requirements from our customers. If actual market
conditions or our customers' product demands are less favorable than those
projected, additional provisions may be required. In addition, unanticipated
changes in liquidity or the financial positions of our customers or changes in
economic conditions may require additional provisions for inventory due to our
customers' inability to fulfill their contractual obligations. During fiscal
year 2021 and fiscal year 2020, a change of 10% for excess and obsolete
materials, based on product demand and production requirements from our
customers, would have affected our net income by approximately $0.1 million and
$0.2 million, respectively.
Deferred Income Taxes
Our deferred income tax assets represent temporary differences between the
carrying amount and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities that will
result in deductible and payable amounts in future years, including net
operating loss carry forwards. Based on estimates, the carrying value of our net
deferred tax assets assumes that it is more likely than not that we will be able
to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions to
realize these deferred income tax assets. Our judgments regarding future
profitability may change depending on future market conditions, changes in U.S.
or international tax laws, or other factors. If these estimates and related
assumptions change in the future, we may be required to increase or decrease our
valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets, resulting in additional or
lesser income tax expense.

As of the end of fiscal year 2019, we had assessed and set up a partial
valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets at the same level as in fiscal
year 2018. However, in fiscal year 2020, one of our subsidiaries in the U.S.
generated net operating loss and management expected that such subsidiary would
continue to have net operating losses in the foreseeable future; therefore,
management believed it was more likely than not that all of the deferred tax
assets of such subsidiary would not be utilized. Thus, a full valuation
allowance of $2.1 million for the deferred tax assets was set up as of the end
of fiscal year 2020.

During fiscal year 2021, our subsidiaries in the U.S. generated taxable income
sufficient for the utilization of loss carryforwards due to better operating
performance and effective control of operating expenses and management
determined that it was more likely than not that future taxable income would be
sufficient to allow utilization of the deferred tax assets. Thus, a full
valuation allowance of $1.5 million for the deferred tax assets was released as
of June 25, 2021.

During fiscal year 2021, our subsidiaries in the U.K. also generated net
operating loss and management expected that such subsidiary would continue to
have net operating losses in the foreseeable future. Therefore, management
believed it was more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets of such
subsidiary would not be utilized. Thus, a full valuation allowance of $2.1
million for the deferred tax assets was set up as of June 25, 2021.

Comparison of Fiscal Year 2021 with Fiscal Year 2020
Total revenues. Our total revenues increased by $237.5 million, or 14.5%, to
$1.88 billion for fiscal year 2021, compared with $1.64 billion for fiscal year
2020. This increase was primarily due to an increase in customers' demand for
optical communications manufacturing services, particularly telecom
manufacturing services, for fiscal year 2021. Revenues from optical
communications products represented 76.7% of our total revenues for fiscal year
2021, compared with 76.0% for fiscal year 2020.
Cost of revenues. Our cost of revenues increased by $202.3 million, or 13.9%, to
$1.66 billion, or 88.2% of total revenues, for fiscal year 2021, compared with
$1.46 billion, or 88.7% of total revenues, for fiscal year 2020. The increase in
cost of revenues was primarily due to a proportional increase in sales volume.
Gross profit. Our gross profit increased by $35.3 million, or 18.9%, to $221.4
million, or 11.8% of total revenues, for fiscal year 2021, compared with $186.1
million, or 11.3% of total revenues, for fiscal year 2020.
SG&A expenses. Our SG&A expenses increased by $2.2 million, or 3.2%, to $70.6
million, or 3.8% of total revenues, for fiscal year 2021, compared with $68.4
million, or 4.2% of total revenues, for fiscal year 2020. Our SG&A expenses
increased during fiscal year 2021, compared with fiscal year 2020, mainly due to
(1) an increase in share-based compensation expenses of $3.2 million from an
increase in awards of performance share units and restricted share units; (2) an
increase in new business start-up costs related to our subsidiary in Israel of
$1.4 million; and (3) an increase in severance liabilities expense of $0.9
million related to a senior management retirement; offset by a goodwill
impairment loss related to our subsidiary in the U.K. of $3.5 million in fiscal
year 2020.
Operating income. Our operating income increased by $33.4 million to $150.8
million, or 8.0% of total revenues, for fiscal year 2021, compared with $117.4
million, or 7.1% of total revenues, for fiscal year 2020.
Interest income. Our interest income decreased by $3.8 million to $3.8 million
for fiscal year 2021, compared with $7.6 million for fiscal year 2020. The
decrease was primarily due to a lower weighted average interest rate in fiscal
year 2021 compared with fiscal year 2020.
Interest expense. Our interest expense decreased by $1.9 million to $1.1 million
for fiscal year 2021, compared with $3.0 million for fiscal year 2020. The
decrease was primarily due to lower unrealized loss from mark-to-market of
interest rate swaps recognized to earnings for fiscal year 2021, due to the
implementation of cash flow hedge accounting on the interest rate swaps on
September 27, 2019 and lower interest expense from loan repayment in fiscal year
2021.
Foreign exchange gain (loss), net. We recorded foreign exchange gain, net of
$0.5 million for fiscal year 2021, compared with foreign exchange loss, net of
$3.8 million for fiscal year 2020. The increase in foreign exchange gain was
mainly due to an unrealized foreign exchange gain from revaluation of
outstanding Thai baht assets and liabilities of $2.0 million, foreign exchange
gain from subsidiaries in the PRC and the U.K., totaling $1.7 million, and
realized foreign exchange gain from payment/receipt of $0.5 million in fiscal
year 2021, as compared to an unrealized foreign exchange loss from
mark-to-market of forward contracts of $1.2 million and realized foreign
exchange loss from payment/receipt of $1.6 million in fiscal year 2020
Income before income taxes. We recorded income before income taxes of $150.5
million for fiscal year 2021, compared with $119.2 million for fiscal year 2020.
                                       43

  Table of Contents
Income tax expense. Our provision for income tax reflects an effective tax rate
of 1.4% and 4.8% for fiscal year 2021 and fiscal year 2020, respectively. The
decrease was primarily due to higher income not subject to tax in fiscal year
2021, as compared to fiscal year 2020.
Net income. We recorded net income of $148.3 million, or 7.9% of total revenues,
for fiscal year 2021, compared with net income of $113.5 million, or 6.9% of
total revenues, for fiscal year 2020.
Other comprehensive income (loss). We recorded other comprehensive loss of $5.1
million, or 0.3% for fiscal year 2021, compared with other comprehensive income
of $1.2 million, or 0.1% for fiscal year 2020. The decrease in other
comprehensive income was mainly due to (1) unrealized loss from mark-to-market
of forward contracts and interest rate swap agreement of $5.1 million for fiscal
year 2021, as compared to unrealized gain from mark-to-market of forward
contracts and interest rate swap agreement of $0.6 million for fiscal year 2020,
and (2) unrealized loss from mark-to-market of available-for-sale debt
securities of $1.2 million for fiscal year 2021, as compared to unrealized gain
from mark-to-market of available-for-sale debt securities of $0.5 million for
fiscal year 2020.
Comparison of Fiscal Year 2020 with Fiscal Year 2019
Total revenues. Our total revenues increased by $57.5 million, or 3.6%, to $1.64
billion for fiscal year 2020, compared with $1.58 billion for fiscal year 2019.
This increase was primarily due to an increase in customers' demand for optical
communications manufacturing services, particularly telecom manufacturing
services, for fiscal year 2020. Revenues from optical communications products
represented 76.0% of our total revenues for fiscal year 2020, compared with
74.8% for fiscal year 2019.
Cost of revenues. Our cost of revenues increased by $50.6 million, or 3.6%, to
$1.46 billion, or 88.7% of total revenues, for fiscal year 2020, compared with
$1.41 billion, or 88.7% of total revenues, for fiscal year 2019. The increase in
cost of revenues was primarily due to a proportional increase in sales volume.
Gross profit. Our gross profit increased by $6.9 million, or 3.8%, to $186.1
million, or 11.3% of total revenues, for fiscal year 2020, compared with $179.2
million, or 11.3% of total revenues, for fiscal year 2019.
SG&A expenses. Our SG&A expenses increased by $13.3 million, or 24.2%, to $68.4
million, or 4.2% of total revenues, for fiscal year 2020, compared with $55.1
million, or 3.5% of total revenues, for fiscal year 2019. Our SG&A expenses
increased during fiscal year 2020, compared with fiscal year 2019, mainly due to
by (1) an increase in share-based compensation expenses of $4.6 million,
including $3.2 million from an increase in awards of performance share units and
$1.4 million from an increase in awards of restricted share units; (2) a
goodwill impairment loss related to our UK subsidiary of $3.5 million; (3) an
increase in new business start-up costs incurred by our Israel and Thailand
subsidiaries of $1.5 million; (4) an increase in severance liabilities expense
of $0.9 million due to a change in labor protection law in Thailand in May 2019
that increased the required severance payment compensation for employees with 20
years of service from 300 days of wage to 400 days of wage; and (5) an increase
in executive and management expenses of $0.4 million from bonuses and other
benefits.
Operating income. Our operating income decreased by $5.2 million to $117.4
million, or 7.1% of total revenues, for fiscal year 2020, compared with $122.6
million, or 7.7% of total revenues, for fiscal year 2019.
Interest income. Our interest income increased by $0.9 million to $7.6 million
for fiscal year 2020, compared with $6.7 million for fiscal year 2019. The
increase was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of our
outstanding cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.
Interest expense. Our interest expense decreased by $2.4 million to $3.0 million
for fiscal year 2020, compared with $5.4 million for fiscal year 2019. The
decrease was primarily due to lower unrealized loss from mark-to-market of
interest rate swaps recognized to earnings as a result of applying cash flow
hedge accounting in fiscal year 2020. In fiscal year 2020, there was unrealized
loss from mark-to-market of interest rate swaps of $1.7 million recognized to
earnings for the three months ended September 27, 2019, before applying cash
flow hedge, as compared to an unrealized loss of $2.6 million for fiscal year
2019. In addition, there was amortization of the fair value of interest rate
swaps as of the hedge inception date of $1.2 million during fiscal year 2020 in
relation to applying hedge accounting which results in a decrease in interest
expense.
Foreign exchange gain (loss), net. We recorded foreign exchange loss, net of
$3.8 million for fiscal year 2020, compared with foreign exchange gain, net of
$1.4 million for fiscal year 2019. The increase in foreign exchange loss was
mainly due to an unrealized foreign exchange loss from mark-to-market of forward
contracts of $1.2 million in fiscal year 2020, as compared to an unrealized
foreign exchange gain from mark-to-market of forward contracts of $4.8 million
in fiscal year 2019.

Income before income taxes. We recorded income before income taxes of $119.2
million for fiscal year 2020, compared with $126.2 million for fiscal year 2019.
Income tax expense. Our provision for income tax reflects an effective tax rate
of 4.8% and 4.2% for fiscal year 2020 and fiscal year 2019, respectively. The
increase was primarily due to the fact that we had higher income subject to tax
in fiscal year 2020, as compared to fiscal year 2019.
Net income. We recorded net income of $113.5 million, or 6.9% of total revenues,
for fiscal year 2020, compared with net income of $121.0 million, or 7.6% of
total revenues, for fiscal year 2019.
Other comprehensive income (loss). Our other comprehensive income increased by
$2.4 million to $1.2 million for fiscal year 2020 compared with other
comprehensive loss of $1.1 million for fiscal year 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows and Working Capital
We primarily finance our operations through cash flow from operating activities.
As of June 25, 2021 and June 26, 2020, we had cash, cash equivalents, and
short-term investments of $547.9 million and $488.1 million, respectively, and
outstanding debt of $39.5 million and $51.7 million, respectively.
Our cash and cash equivalents, which primarily consist of cash on hand, demand
deposits and liquid investments with original maturities of three months or
less, are placed with banks and other financial institutions. The weighted
average interest rate on our cash and cash equivalents for fiscal year 2021,
fiscal year 2020 and fiscal year 2019 was 0.7%, 1.8% and 1.9%, respectively.
Our cash investments are made in accordance with an investment policy approved
by the audit committee of our board of directors. In general, our investment
policy requires that securities purchased be rated A1, P-1, F1 or better. No
security may have an effective maturity that exceeds three years. Our
investments in fixed income securities are primarily classified as
available-for-sale and and held-to-maturity. Investments in debt securities that
we have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are carried at
amortized cost and classified as held-to-maturity. Investments in debt
securities that are not classified as held-to-maturity are carried at fair value
and classified as available-for-sale with any unrealized gains and losses
included in AOCI in the consolidated balance sheets. We determine realized gains
or losses on sale of available-for-sale debt securities on a specific
identification method and records such gains or losses as interest income in the
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
During fiscal year 2020, (1) we paid off a term loan of $60.9 million under our
previous credit facility agreement with Bank of America, (2) our subsidiary in
Thailand drew down a new term loan of $60.9 million under a new credit facility
agreement with the Bank of Ayudhya Public Company Limited, and (3) we repaid
$9.1 million of the new term loan under the new credit facility agreement. As a
result, as of June 26, 2020, we had a long-term borrowing of $51.7 million under
our new credit facility agreement. As of June 25, 2021, we had a long-term
borrowing of $39.5 million under our new credit facility agreement (see Note 15
for further details). We anticipate that our internally generated working
capital, along with our cash and cash equivalents will be adequate to repay
these obligations. To better manage our cash on hand, we held short-term
investments of $245.0 million as of June 25, 2021.
We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments,
cash flow from operations, and funds available through our credit facility will
be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at
least the next 12 months following the filing of this Annual Report on Form
10-K. Our ability to sustain our working capital position is subject to a number
of risks that we discuss in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We also believe that our current manufacturing capacity is sufficient to meet
our anticipated production requirements for at least the next few quarters.

On August 20, 2019, Fabrinet Thailand (the "Borrower") and Bank of Ayudhya
Public Company Limited (the "Bank") entered into a Credit Facility Agreement
(the "Credit Facility Agreement"). The Credit Facility Agreement provides for a
facility of 110.0 million Thai baht (approximately $3.6 million based on the
applicable exchange rate as of September 27, 2019) and $160.9 million which may
be used for, among other things, an overdraft facility, short-term loans against
promissory notes, a letter of guarantee facility, a term loan facility and
foreign exchange facilities. The Bank may approve any request for extension of
credit under the Credit Facility Agreement and may increase or decrease any
facility amount in its sole discretion.

Under the Credit Facility Agreement, on August 20, 2019, the Borrower and the
Bank entered into a Term Loan Agreement pursuant to which the Borrower drew down
on September 3, 2019 a term loan in the original principal amount of $60.9
million. The proceeds from the term loan, together with cash on hand, were used
to repay outstanding obligations under the Company's previous syndicated senior
credit facility agreement.

The term loan accrues interest at 3-month LIBOR plus 1.35% and is repayable in
quarterly installments of $3.0 million, commencing on September 30, 2019. The
term loan will mature on June 30, 2024. The Borrower may prepay the term loan in
whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. Any portion of the term
loan repaid or prepaid may not be borrowed again. During the year ended June 25,
2021, the Company recorded $0.7 million of interest expense in connection with
this term loan.
Any borrowings under the Credit Facility Agreement, including those borrowings
under the Term Loan Agreement, are guaranteed by Fabrinet and secured by land
and buildings owned by the Borrower in the Pathumthani and Chonburi Provinces in
Thailand.
The Term Loan Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants applicable
to the Borrower, including delivery of financial statements and other
information, compliance with laws, maintenance of insurance, restrictions on
granting security interests or liens on its assets, disposing of its assets,
incurring indebtedness and making acquisitions. While the term loan is
outstanding, the Borrower is required to maintain a loan to value of the
mortgaged real property ratio of not greater than 65%. If the loan to value
ratio is not maintained, the Borrower will be required to provide additional
security or prepay a portion of the term loan in order to restore the required
ratio. The Company is also required to maintain a debt service coverage ratio of
at least 1.25 times and a debt to equity ratio less than or equal to 1.0 times.
In the case of any payment of a dividend by the Company, its debt service
coverage ratio must be at least 1.50 times. As of June 25, 2021, the Company was
in compliance with all of its financial covenants under the Term Loan Agreement.
The events of default in the Term Loan Agreement include failure to pay amounts
due under the Term Loan Agreement or the related finance documents when due,
failure to comply with the covenants under the Term Loan Agreement or the
related finance documents, cross default with other indebtedness of the
Borrower, events of bankruptcy or insolvency in respect of the
                                       47

Borrower, and the occurrence of any event or series of events that in the
opinion of the Bank has or is reasonably likely to have a material adverse
effect. As of June 25, 2021, there was $39.5 million outstanding under the term
loan.
As of June 25, 2021, we also had certain operating lease arrangements in which
the lease payments are calculated using the straight-line method. Our rental
expenses under these leases were $2.6 million, $2.1 million and $1.9 million for
fiscal year 2021, fiscal year 2020 and fiscal year 2019, respectively.

During fiscal year 2021 and fiscal year 2020, we purchased equipment to support
the expansion of our manufacturing facilities in Thailand, the PRC and Israel.
During fiscal year 2019, we purchased additional equipment to continue to
support the expansion of our manufacturing facilities in Thailand. We expect our
capital expenditures for fiscal year 2022 to increase compared to fiscal year
2021 mainly related to investment in existing and new manufacturing facilities.
